I started a spinning course in April. We learned how to spin on wheels. I learned that ergonomics and the right shoes are key…after spinning crap yarn for the first three weeks, I wore a different pair of shoes to class, and what a difference that made. (My other shoes kept slipping on the treadle.)
Anyway, right now I’m spinning on a spindle. I didn’t learn how to use it in the class, but the instruction I got on drafting was very helpful. And I was able to retain whatever I learned this summer when I went to my parents’ house and gave my mother’s wheel a try. (I learned on Ashford upright wheels; the one my mother has looks more like a traditional wheel.) However, my yarn is still very uneven. I’d like to change that.
