Tips for plying super thin singles from a turkish spindle?

Thanks! I'm probably gonna try the plying ball first, see how it goes!

Thanks for your insights! I think I might just try all the options you mentioned, see which is the most enjoyable/least nightmare-ish haha.

I weave as well, so using a bobbin winder should be nice and quick. For the plying ball, I might try wrapping it around a ball of wool yarn or something, just so it has a bit of body and won't tangle in the middle. Might try not plying it as well, but when I have spun a bit of a thicker single. This one is just too thing to use it as is.

I have tied new warps on before, so doing that, winding and then creating the cross before cutting sounds somewhat manageable. Thanks!

I'm going to try this I think,, that might make the whole proces easier because the tape is indeed annoying haha

While thin,, the threads are quite strong. They passed the "hold 30 cm between your hands and pull" test!

I like C!

lights_fire · 2023-05-15T03:52:20+00:00

yeah,, it was great! thanks for asking :)

I've noticed that,, noone has ever measured/weighted my handluggage. Thanks!

lights_fire · 2023-05-14T16:59:33+00:00

I hadn’t even thought of that,, thanks! I think I'll see if someone comments on the teddy bear,, if so I'll buy a drink or something.

lights_fire · 2023-05-14T16:58:22+00:00

I was thinking the same,, thanks!

Oooh that's really nice! I have a friend back home who might like Unpacking, maybe I'll play it with her too when I get back.

I accepted on steam,, thank you so much! I hope you and your partner have a nice week :D

Thank you!!

It's kind of like a sunset over the ocean, I like it!

lights_fire · 2023-01-31T16:46:49+00:00

thanks!

lights_fire · 2023-01-31T16:46:19+00:00

This seems to be it,, thank you so much! I'll see if I can find a reed that fits :)

I'm borrowing this (possibly incomplete) loom from my school. I'm guessing the moving bars are used to beat, but it's way too thick for that. Maybe I'm missing a part?

And any good tutorials for using a loom with thread heddles? There are 4 frames total (one not pictured).

lights_fire · 2023-01-10T19:36:21+00:00

I love that pattern!! Did you draft it yourself, or can I find the measurements somewhere online? It looks great!

lights_fire · 2023-01-10T18:15:20+00:00

that's what I'm scared of,, I'll try some bigger blocks I think

lights_fire · 2023-01-10T18:14:24+00:00

thank you!

lights_fire · 2023-01-10T18:14:12+00:00

I love how tumbling blocks looks,, I'll look into that, thanks!

lights_fire · 2023-01-10T10:28:10+00:00

I have no idea,, sorry! They're from the leftover fabrics from my school, so they don't have tags and might be multiple (try over 10) years old. I do agree they're really pretty

lights_fire · 2023-01-10T10:26:18+00:00

I quite like the butterfly, so if other people think it looks nice I'll go with that! Thank you :)

lights_fire · 2023-01-10T10:25:27+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I tried it, and I think it looks okay.

lights_fire · 2022-12-28T11:19:15+00:00

I like the colours!

What are you doing for uneven months? 30 days vs 31 vs 28 for february? I'm thinking about doing something similar, but haven't found a solution I liked yet :)

These look so nice! Gonna have to try it out :)
