SpinnySpinny

Nothing much going on except more cotton. I’m finally almost finished with the first bobbin. I am still losing a lot to broken yarn, although I’m getting better at catching thin spots before they break. Rethreading the flyer wastes a lot of time. Fine cotton is some of the most boring stuff ever, I’m not so hung up on spinning that I won’t buy yarn if I can get basically the same thing millspun. I’m not interested in strange colors so basically what I’m making is the same stuff I have cones of in storage for weaving. I like working with handspun wool because I start with fleece and there’s lots of interesting natural colors and textures to work with and I can prepare it exactly the way I want. I think most commercially prepared wool is just as boring as this cotton, punctuated only by picking out bad bits from lousy high-speed prep.
