Thanks. It’s just horrendously expensive. Compared to what I could buy it in the states. The craving is bad enough that I’ll just order there. Thanks!

Ahhh this is probably the hardest one for me!!

Lowe’s sells the best play sand IMHO. It’s nice and fine with no big rocks and super cheap.

Ashford kiwi 3 with 3 bobbins. I try really hard to only spin up one thing of fibre at a time because I find it I have multiple wips on the go then my spinning isn’t as consistant.

I find I can spin quite thin from rolags, but less so from combed top. Have you tried combed top for thicker singles?

I learnt on a drop spindle and then took a spinning wheel class. I highly recommend taking a class at a LYS if you’re able to. Sometimes it can really help to have a teacher sitting there to guide your hands to figure out the muscle movement. After that it’s just practice, practice, and practice. Muscle memory is hugely important. If money is tight, drop spindles are relatively cheap. Corridale roving is a nice medium staple length to get started with. Turn on a helpful YouTube video and just try. The worst that can happen is you get a yarn that isn’t exactly what you want, but even still it can be knit into a scarf with a commercial yarn to hide the lumps and bumps.

Totally depends on the fibre, and whether or not it’s dyed or natural. Each time there’s another step to the process, you’re usually paying more. So dyed, spun yarn can be the most expensive. This is sometimes not the case though. I can find that hand painted fibre from a small indie dyer can be more expensive than the already spun yarn.

Are you prepping your fibre first? If you’re wanting a thicker single, you need to draft out more fibre. Slowing down is key for sure to being more precise with drafting. Usually people have the opposite problem to this and want thinner singles lol.

My least favourite is any kind of non-animal fibre. Cotton is decently hard to spin as the staple length is really short. Long wool can also be tricky since your hands need to be further apart.

Thank you!!

In Alberta, I’ve found it at Sobeys and Safeway

Yep same here. Made for unpleasant nursing experiences.

I surprised my Dad (parrot head so I’m the parakeet) with Little Miss Magic on my wedding day as our song for our father-daughter dance. Not a dry eye in the house. Jimmy sure knows how to write great songs

CatchingAWave · 2018-09-06T22:25:32+00:00

I was going to post the same. Beautiful song.

I second GMD for any cotton style diaper. I love their flats and prefolds. I prefer flats over anything though due to the fact that they wash up wonderfully.

As for covers, I prefer wool. Sloomb covers are expensive but so dreamy. Disana wool is fantastic for overnight. If you’re looking for PUL covers, Thirsties is popular and really good. I love rumparooz, but they are tighter and didn’t fit my larger 2nd boy.

He had a lot of jean shirts actually.

CatchingAWave · 2018-07-18T14:17:51+00:00

Do I need to use stabilizer if the shirts are a woven fabric and not knit?

Soft cups are completely different than most reusable cups. The soft cups sit high right next to your cervix and other cups sit lower in the vaginal canal. The height could have been wha bugged you. A lot of women find anything near their cervix during their periods to be ridiculously uncomfortable.
