A 2 ply with this lovely merino blend I got. All my coworkers are asking me to make stuff now that I have proper spinning wheel. Anyone else here into spinning yarn?

While I’m on the subject, would anyone else be interested in a write up? I don’t want the information to stay on Reddit. And while I’m VERY much not an expert, I can at least start posting resources for folk.

    I’ll have to look for that book, thank you!

    I’m definitely in the park and draft (and tangle, and slub, and swear) stage, but I really dig it.

      God tell me about it. I’m still fresh myself, and tried making a skein without a niddy noddy. I lost 70g of plyed yarn 😭

      My first wheel bobbin got completely over filled when I was plying. So THAT screwed up too. One skein was underspun and just fell apart. But!! Who cares when I’m having so much fun :) (apart from all the swearing and rage…)

      Honestly, just keep at it. It clicked for me after a few on and off attempts over a few weeks.
