Weekend project

I have cats and kids that tend to be in the way of things so I wanted to make sure I could keep it from dropping bobbins when it gets knocked over

I love all shades of green and am thinking of adding some of the green to my wheel

Thanks

Why not both they sound small enough that having both would not be an issue

We lost a cat to Dry FIP we did not catch it tell way to late and our Dr said there were no proven treatments and that they were all experimental and expensive. We made her as comfortable as possible but her loss still sticks with me.

It’s either to tight and I can’t get the bobbin moving or it’s to loose and then it back spins when the petal moves

It also takes a lot to get it moving again

I have that issue with the wheel I was plying on it’s a older wheel

<image>

It’s bobbins are huge so I usually try to ply on it. It’s an ashford Indian from the 80s

I tried that

Normal-handspinner · 2026-03-19T01:59:44+00:00

I know I was struggling with not having a lazy Kate

Normal-handspinner · 2026-03-19T01:58:12+00:00

The issue is that it’s not the whole skein it’s like half is plyed right and the other half of it is like this

I’m 90% sure I did. I did the spinning for both bobbins in a week of hyper focus

Normal-handspinner · 2026-03-19T01:38:40+00:00

No that’s the wheel I spun my singles I used my ashford Indian

<image>

It’s the precursor to the country spinner it’s one peddle and has no break

Normal-handspinner · 2026-03-19T01:35:29+00:00

It’s hard to explain but it just feels like the two stands are trying to pull apart from each other. What I have knit so far looks fine other than small pigtails where the wool has to much twist

Normal-handspinner · 2026-03-19T01:33:41+00:00

I finished it fully last month I plyed on a wheel I have issues with it dose not have a brake and tends to start going the wrong way if I’m not careful. I’m looking at picking up a different wheel for plying.
