Chain Plying Ball (pt 2)
A chain plying ball is a brilliant way to carefully create a chain, keeping colors together before you start actually plying. I did this during the Tour de Fleece this year and have the yarn featured over on Instagram.
Mojito's are brilliant both with and without rum!

    I would love to try a great wheel, as well as other wheels in general. I have a Kromski Sonata, and my husband insists I only need one wheel. He says I should be able to do everything I want with one wheel, and all spinning wheels are the same. The Sonata is my first wheel, and it has some good traits, but the double treadle makes me spin too fast sometimes, which results in too much twist in some areas. What do you think? Do you agree with my husband?

    • @TheSipnSpin
      @TheSipnSpin 2 дні тому

      @ColorsofHopeCraftsASMR well, I have a Sonata, and it's my dream wheel. That being said, it's nice to have some variety, although my great wheel is more a novelty wheel than one I spin on regularly, and my other wheels have some weird quirks. I honestly use my spindles more than my wheels, and those are things you can't have enough of!

      Support spindles can be made with a variety of different objects, however, they will likely not be balanced (just adding that because balanced spindles are easier to spin), I did a found object video on how to make your own support spindles. You really just need a sharpened stick and some kind of whorl (clay, bead, cd, toy wheel, etc...)

    Love the spindle spotlights. In one, you mentioned something about your preferred way to spin with a spindle is to never really let go of the spindle/ let it drop far from your hand, and draft with the other hand using a distaff I think. I want to learn something like this with a belt distaff. Would you do a video on this? Thanks for the videos.

    I love this video, although I can't say that it's exactly 101-level (for me). I know NOTHING about spinning and there was a lot of terminology that I was not familiar with. Do you have a pre-101 video that explains such basic terminology? I've been harvesting cotton in Mexico and want to spin it and make something (no idea what!). Sounds like I've set myself up for a big challenge by starting with cotton but it is the fiber that presented itself to me, so here I am.

    • @TheSipnSpin
      @TheSipnSpin 3 місяці тому

      Thank you! I've always wanted to spin cotton from Mexico! Many, many spinners love cotton, and once you get the drafting rhythm it's really no different from any other fiber. Sadly, I don't really have a cotton 101 video because there are so many already available. I will look into putting one together though! I like the idea of a spotlight that just explains all the spinning terms a new spinner will need to get started!

      I'm so sorry you're experiencing this! The first nano does have some quirks that were worked out with the nano 2, but take up seems to be the most common problem. The Facebook page has tons of helpful suggestions, but in my experience, treating these little machines like a spindle rather than a spinning wheel works pretty well. You need to draft quickly and feed it onto the bobbin rather than waiting for it to pull the single onto the bobbin.
