I was using a ginormous spindle which I assumed was the size they all were, not having ever seen one before.

The proper weight for the yarn you are spinning, well-balanced, even good looks help me get in the groove. But also the fact that you are spinning well on your wheel makes a huge difference. Whether you can spin on a wheel or a spindle, it makes sucess faster to achieve on the other.
