Spinning Along
I made a bunch of art batts and am spinning them into a worsted/chunky weight singles yarn. The fibers in the batts are hand dyed merino, bamboo, alpaca, Wensleydale locks, firestar, mulberry silk, and Angelina. I have been spinning them on my Schacht Matchless with my bulky flyer.
I finally have the bulky flyer figured out. I have only had my Matchless for a couple of months. I ordered the bulky flyer with the wheel. I did not even have the wheel figured out before putting the bulky flyer on it. I love the Matchless. It is an awesome wheel. I can spin anything on it with ease. I did have to a bit of fiddling around with it at first. It is quite a bit different from my other wheels.
I plan on using the hand spun to make another scarf on my Flip rigid heddle loom. The cold weather is here. I am outside most of the time, so scarves (and hats!) are on the top of my list of items to make.
