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...

hhhmm, so it's not something a bit more oil will help. Must have something to do with when they are made. maybe the bobbin center is just a mm different on one...
On the Mazurka, when I test road it.....was not a comfy fit for me. I know we each have unique experiences with different wheels. It felt like the wheels...
