i've lost count of the yarn i've been spinning. after the ninth hank i started messing with the thickness of the yarn. i tried spinning as thin as i could. it works great except now i can't revert back to spinning the thicker weight i prefer.
10, 11, 12, and 13
they're around 1.5 oz each, all too thin to be used with the yarn i spun previously. as for the colors, i'm still experimenting with the dyes. i hope to have them refined before i run out of roving.
this spinning business is driving me nuts. i had the darnest time deciding which wheel to get. i have been in correspondence with majacraft for months and only today did i decide to go for the little gem. now i have to figure out a way to get majacraft to customize it for me.
majacraft vs schmeebot
i have never used or even seen a little gem in person. foolish, isn't it? anyway, it's not as clean looking as the suzie but i am taken with its weight and portability. i am hoping that majacraft could do away with the knobs and carvings on the shaft. a plain square post is boring, i know. but i am just not into the traditional knobby look. it reminds me of old table legs.
wish me luck.
