I am enjoying a long weekend at Chincoteaque Island and will resume my sock spin 3-ply when I return. This stage focuses on spinning on my EEW 6.0 and my car set up. Fiber tool: www.etsy.com/s... EEW 6.0: www.dreamingro...
You can spin in the car! I’ve been spinning for 10 years now and had never thought of it. I’m excited to see your set up at the end! I am waiting for my first espinner : a starling from daedalus which I should be able to get this fall. It is their middle sized ewheel. I’ve been wanting an espinner for many many years now!
You can spin in the car! I don’t know how Daedalus works other than they are top of the line, but mine has a rechargeable battery option. Mine is also modestly priced, but I love it! You are going to love yours! It makes plying lightening fast! Yipee for you!! Thanks for watching and Spin Happy!
Beautiful fiber! Thanks for showing your set up. Who makes the first fiber tool you shared, the one that measures just WPI? I like that it is grooved. Also, where did you get that piece in the oriface? Looks so handy to hold the yarn. Thanks again for the awesome vids. I’m a new spinner and learning tons.
I got the WPI tool at a fiber festival 10 years ago. I don’t remember anything about it and it has no company name. The piece in the orifice is called twist control keeper. It is a free 3-D printed file from thingaverse. I downloaded the file then uploaded it to my local library and they 3-D printed for me. Library charged me $1.50 😀
Loving the videos ❤. Spinning in the car 😮 awesome 😎. I have a mirror dyed braid (do you know what I mean?) have you got any suggestions of what method of spinning would work well (fractal, divide into a gradient etc) I'm not sure how best to spin it. Thanks for any suggestions xx
I choose my predrafting based on the project I have in mind. If you are going to make a project for a progressive spin then strip into color progression you want. If you want more of a barber pole yarn then divide for a fractal. If it’s a mirror dyed braid you could divide it in 2 transversely, and spin each single in order and ply. There are so many ways to do it! You could spin it straight and chainply. You could do a little test spin and see what you like. Have fun and spin happy!
I’m a newer spinner and would like to try backwards long draw like this, did you predraft your fiber? I have a polwarth fiber to spin but no silk blended.
I was spinning short backward draw. My predrafting consisted of dividing the first braid in half, and the second braid into 6 equal parts. That will yield a fractal spin. Polwarth is lovely next to skin soft, lofty fiber. You will love it, and woolen spin will make it even loftier! Thanks for watching and Spin Happy!😃
