This afternoon I finished spinning all of the white wool my friend, SDSue, sent to me. As I stare at it on the spindle, wrapped around that thing all bumpy and lumpy and not very pretty, I wonder to myself: what the heck am I supposed to do with it next?
So, (lightbulb moment!) I get on the internet. I type in the search engine: what do I do to yarn off the spindle? Several sites pop up and I choose one at random.
Introduction to the Hand Spindle Lo Tech, High Satisfaction Spinning with simple tools. What you need....
1 hand spindle, well balanced and not too heavy
12 ounces of prepared fiber, preferably medium-grade wool, in a color you like
tiny piece of masking tape, with an arrow drawn on it
a piece of wool starter yarn, about 2430" long
a little time
a little patience
a lot of fun
Barkas Farms
So that's my problem! I forgot the starter yarn!! (Actually, Sue already had some on there for me, but definitely NOT 2430" !!)
Actually, I read that outloud to Mel and started laughing so hard he couldn't understand me completely.
ooops - someone made a typo and never fixed it. ha ha ha ha ha I needed a good laugh tonight. Now - I need to know what to do next... I laughed so hard I forgot to read the rest of the page!!
