You can spin fairly fine with the woolen method, but it takes a little practice.

Old pictures in Sharon Miller's knittine books and in the Shetland archive's show women spinning this way. <br /><br />It is very freeing and fast to do long draw on fine wooled Shetland roving commercially processed. I like to spin more worsted with my own drumcarded roving though. <br /><br />Nice yarns!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616932421270453008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-15985673368592579212011-11-12T10:35:20.466-08:002011-11-12T10:35:20.466-08:00Your spinning looks great!

My miniSpinner is wonderful because you can spin from any angle.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-55880981493256592072011-11-11T19:05:48.872-08:002011-11-11T19:05:48.872-08:00Beautiful!

I typically spin with my right hand supporting the fiber and my left regulating the twist but I think if I were to learn long draw I would need to switch as most wheels have the orifice on the left?Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17995851593213427196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-12356182124137615372011-11-11T18:19:44.323-08:002011-11-11T18:19:44.323-08:00Denise's batts -- what gorgeous colors!Denise's batts -- what gorgeous colors!dr momihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665259531466170062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-56217737616413148532011-11-11T17:44:46.284-08:002011-11-11T17:44:46.284-08:00The chilly temperatures we are getting in Iowa is ...The chilly temperatures we are getting in Iowa is making me itch to knit..Your yarn is so beautiful and colorful~! <br />great job~!<br />Have a great day~ ta ta for now from IowaTiggeriffichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02039721574395014625noreply@blogger.com
