HANDY CRAFT...

My friend says both the spinning and the knitting are perfect to do in 'cooler' temperatures.
She starts spinning in Autumn, and often by the open fire.
Short draw spinning is used to create worsted yarns.
It is spun from combed roving, sliver or wool top.
The spinner keeps his/her hands very close to each other.
The fibres are held, fanned out, in one hand, and the other hand pulls a small number from the mass.
The twist is kept between the second hand and the wheel.
There is never any twist between the two hands.
Spinning the wool, hands again, my fascination ... since they are so expressive, almost as much as a face (?), a means of body language and non-verbal communication, we ‘say’ so much with our hands.
We touch, feel, handle, build and destroy, hurt and caress, kill and heal, make music (noise) and command or pray for silence, our hands can be rough or smooth.
The end product is very pleasing, I love the natural colours.
Sometimes the lady dyes the wool, also with natural dyes.
Characteristics of spun yarn vary according to the material used, fibre length and alignment, quantity of fibre used, and degree of twist.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for your comments... M, (*_*)
