Today I spun wool at a local ‘lambs day’ event. When I had one bobbin almost full of wool there was a girl who said she could knit. She wanted to have the wool so I thought I’d chain ply it for her… I failed epically but she still wanted the wool. When they left her mom said she would be taking it to school tomorrow…

@maru Very cool to just do it, although the lack of wool prep makes it very hard.

@lisettedeboer the yarn wouldn’t pick up/draw in quickly enough. Maybe on the wheel with the slides instead of hooks and a quicker ratio it will be easier.

@maru If you need more uptake it is a tension issue.

@lisettedeboer yep but I couldn’t correct that on the old wheel. Also the wrinkles were caught on the hooks on the flyer. So maybe I should say I was making art yarn :)
