I think the weight needs to be on the outside edge π€ but I could try washers and see. I have another small spindle with a stone wheel and a similarly small diameter. The problem with it is that as soon as it stops spinning it goes backward with equal speed.
I spun this sample with a tiny drop spindle I made with a dowel and a wooden toy wheel. It's a little too light to spin properly and I ended up putting a couple rubber bands around the wheel to add weight.
Combed and spun a sample of Babydoll Southdown wool today. The fleece was long, for Babydoll. It was quite fine and soft but very easy to comb and draft. Beautiful to work with!

In my experience you need to combine chiro with massage and physical therapy for anything ongoing. Shop around to find a really reputable practitioner.
Studies suggest the having your neck adjusted could cause injury and that massage actually works better than adjustments to relieve neck pain.
I've had significant relief in having my lower back adjusted.
I spent years trying to get my rib and upper back area relatively pain-free. Chiro alone could only address acute problems, not chronic ones.

Here's my first finished novella, a retelling of Medusa's story. I wrote it 8 years ago. I'm really proud of it! I haven't finished anything long since. I'm done setting hurdles in the way of sharing it. So, here it is.
If you like Greek mythology or fantasy you might enjoy it.

Autotranslate is almost always sus lol
I have a good imagination, but this is one I have difficulty comprehending.
It helps neutralize anti-nutrients that make seeds harder to digest.
