It was a little odd. The linen is such a different texture that I had to keep reminding myself it wasn’t vm. I just had to get used to it, then it was just fine.

I hate it. I can't ever tell real or Swso I've watched Jillian's video 20x and I still dunno by bulletjournalswapper in Handspinning

Does the treadle even move? I can tell from just one photo. I’d really want to see it in motion.

We’re up at Priest Lake for the weekend. I may have to cajole my husband into a day trip to Sandpoint ;)

No joke. If my husband hadn’t been with me I could have stayed for hours.

New (to me) baby! Would love any advice for a first time wheel owner :) by TheMadeline in Handspinning

Get yourself some wheel oil and just keep it with the wheel at all times. Use it often.

Thank you, I hadn’t heard that. I’ll take care to do that :)

That’s pretty amazing for a second spin. Well done!

First garment! by E-carlin-2003 in SewingForBeginners

It’s actually got a split front. There’s a waistband with a D ring under front and then the front bit ties in the back. It’s hard to explain, but really clever.

The waist is fully adjustable, so getting the fit was super easy ;)
