III. Spinning
A. Spin the batts worsted. Keep the spindle spun sample handy as a template.
Spinning on the Schacht Matchless. 21:1 ratio
I cross lace the flyer hooks and am using as thin a drive band as I could find and would still turn the wheel. See Maggie Casey, I did listen in class!
B. Spin for a balanced 2 ply. Can always re-spin 2 ply to add twist for cabling.
Now to settle in for a couple of months of marathon spinning. I need to spin at least 4oz of fiber so I can set up the table loom for sampling. At 8400 ypp that's A LOT of treadling.
