Enjoying your TDF videos today while I spin on an advent calendar that I hope to finish now so I can allow myself to buy more this Christmas… When it comes to your physical therapy and spinning a worsted yarn- I did a workshop with Carson Demers on spinning ergonomics, and asked him how I could spin a laceweight silk brick without triggering my tendinitis. His advice was to try post spinning/spinning around the post. He said that a famous production spinner (forgot her name) used this technique to quickly produce large amounts of fine yarn without pain. You pick a finger, say your pointer finger, and let the drafting triangle go just to your finger and the yarn wrap around it 90 degrees or so to the wheel. You can play with the angle. Since the twist doesn’t pass around your finger, it results in a worsted yarn but you aren’t having to do a forward draw repetitively. I personally did try this (haven’t been brave enough yet for the silk) and found that it did reduce hand/wrist fatigue, but I needed to trade post fingers every so often. Good Luck and wishing you painless spinning!
Interesting 🤔 I might need to play with this. I appreciate you mentioning the need to switch fingers. I will need to be cautious since my fingers can get sore before the wrists and shoulders🥴😹
The physical therapy is working wonders. I’m retraining a whole host of muscles. It generates fatigue, but I’m seeing improvement in my strength and stability 💜
Watching you all day today, as I'm home and I can! Found you this morning, I do like your style.
Welcome❣️ I’m pleased 😊💜
Happy TdF!! Crewel was my very first type of craft, but I very quickly discovered I hated it 😹 I moved to freestyle hand embroidery and cross stitch within a week, but it's funny you mentioned it when I was just thinking about it the other day. Happy spinning! Tell the cats I say hi
I’ve had crafts like that too😹
Sending happy spinning vibes😸
