Any spinner?

[Nanaof6]

I went to a local festival and they had a booth with some alpacha (sp?) I was very interested in the lady that was spinning the wool. But I didn't get to ask all the qestions I had. She mostly told me about the spinner she had and how she got it off of Ebay. She went into detail of shearing her small herd .

My questions are, is it worth getting a spinner? What is the drawbacks if any. Do you save that much money by spinning your own wool? What is the best spinner ? what spinners should I not buy?

I think I'd like doing this, but I'm not sure if getting set up would be worth it in the end. I sure would love to hear from some of you that spin.
