Sherie, I went to your blog, and that Falkland is some beautiful yarn! Nice work! How long have you been spinning? I wish I could do such a fine, even job. ...
Hi Robyn, I just bought my Symphony sight unseen and got it set up just a few days before Christmas. I started using a spindle about 6 weeks before that. I'm...

Hi everyone, I just received my first wheel for Christmas - a Kromski Prelude - and am a total novice. I have basic questions - should I place the band on the...

I spin from the locks. Just flick them when they are clean and dry, then I lay the locks in a basket, spin till the basket goes empty, flick another, spin. One...
What good ideas! I was wondering if anybody spun from things other than rolags, since just carding then just folding the fiber makes wonderful little parcels...
Two opinion questions for the group: When hand carding or flicking, how much of a fleece do YOU like to prepare at once? Do you measure by baskets, a day's...
I am NO expert on this - I flunked hand-carding and much prefer combing - but I have a lovely Cormo fleece that is so tender I'm afraid to process it in any...
