Welcome Holly - and Loraine! This group is just getting started so there isn't a lot of activity (yet!) but I am new to spinning and a proud owner of a new...
I set my Mazurka up for double drive when I put my wheel together but I am having trouble overspinning my singles. I know it is a common problem with newbies,...
First of all, are you on the slowest/largest whorl? If you are overspinning then the wheel is putting in too much twist and you need the lowest ratio you have...
Oh the Mazurka is one of my favorites. I don't own my Kromski yet, but I'm saving for a Polonaise as my second wheel, I have a Lendrum DT now, and then some...
I would like some opinions on these two wheels. I love the look of the Polonaise, but hear so much about the Symphony being a dream to spin. What do ya think?...
Hi all, found this group today while searching on "spinning" and I have to say I'm very close to qualifying for membership LOL My sister has a Symphony (her...

Wow, that's great for you. You will love spinning. I just keep my wheel at the ready and sit down to spin a while at any time I feel like it. You got a nice...
Hi, My name is Susan, I just purchased my Symphony last month. I've been spinning since 1984 on a drop spindle, learned on a wheel February 2006, have had a...
I have a Mazurka also but have not done much with it lately. I am wondering how you all are making your sock yarn. Are you knitting it one-ply or are you...
I always spin fine and two ply. Never do I use singles for socks. It's much stronger with two plys and I try to spin somewhat tighter of a twist, and if I...
Mary, Sorry about that. I live in Kent Washington. I have transportation issues, the yarn store is two blocks from my house and one of the owners is a newbie...
This is my first attempt at sock yarn and I am still a newbie at spinning, so I spun my singles as thin as I could and plied them together for a 2-ply yarn....
That's okay. I wish I were closer to you. I would be there. Lol. But from Missouri would be a long drive. Mary ... From: "Susan Profit" <tinne@...> Cc:...
good job, can't wait to see pictures. Give a yell if you have any problems with your sock. I am a sock knitter as well. Mary ... From: Sarah Carriger To:...

Loraine, I just joined the group and have been reading all the posts. I have just ordered my Kromski Polonaise and would highly recommend the seller. Not...
How long have you been spinning? I think your socks look awesome. I hope my first attempt turns out so nice. Did you dye it yourself? Peggy Bowling Green,...
I took a hand spindle spinning course a little over a year ago and it was 2 evenings for about 2 hours so all we covered were the bare basics of drafting. I...
My apology for the lateness of this intro. Although I got my new Symphony in January, I also had laser surgery on my right eye and then two weeks later...
