So I’m trying to get back to real life over here. I’m also trying to spin more. It’s like I can either spin or knit on any given evening, but not both. I borrowed a wheel from work, a Louet S-75 I think. It’s nice, smooth, but on the whole I prefer my joy, I have more options on the joy. I also am not down with plastic parts. I’m trying to spin on as many wheels as I can get my hands on. Just for the experiance. I need to try out some Kromski wheels. This means either I wait until Maryland (Can’t Wait!) or drive 5 hours across PA to The Mannings. I’m thinking my second wheel will be the Kromski Prelude. I’m tempted to just order one, but I must. be. patient. grrrr.
My favourite thing about this Louet has to be the height of the flyer. If you’ve ever seen the Joy, it’s short and compacts easily for travel, this means alot of hunching over, even though I try to have good posture, 25 years of slouchiness will to that to you. Sorry Mom. oh, and also, I like the ginormous bobbins. The Joy bobbins are teeny by comparison.
I’m spinning some roving that looks alot like lint, the tweedy effect will be so cool! I’m saving this skein for socks!
Looks like some more pretty yarn in the works. You are right it does look tweeedy.It is nice that you can borrow a wheel from work.I am curious about where/what type of work you do. Of course if I am being too nosey feel free to forget I asked 🙂
Yay, you’re back!
yum! Looks nice and tweedy! Would make a awesome pair of socks : )
I’ve been trying not to start spinning. but.its.so.hard!! Lucky you getting to play with all those different wheels! Have fun!
I’m in love with your roving. It’s great that you an borrow a wheel from work and try out all different ones.
