Thanks for talking about the twist of yarn when plying on a Turkish spindle. I was wondering about that.

Hi Sara! Thsnk you for this q&a today. You must be very excited about your new wheel. I heard only good things about Lendrum! So I was wondering, just a suggestion, if you could either show a couple hanspun skeins or knitted things now and then and discuss what was the fiber, on what tool you spun it and a little bit about your spin (type of color management, type of draft…). Maybe comparing some skeins would also be informative. But maybe you sell your handspun, so no pressure to do that. And also a question: what is your top 5 for fiber dyers or supplyer nowadays? Thanks!

Thank you so much for addressing my question on a neat cop and I loved the term you use "stable", because as I was spinning recently, the bottom was falling out of it 🤣🤣, if you can understand. I ended up using a hair bob to hold it up, while I tried to catch the falling singles......oooh it was a mess. I look forward and I thank you for the designated video that you will do. I will also look up your articles in PLY.
I am currently in a breed study and attempting to learn "all the things" 😉😉

Dear Sarah, I have been trying to get better at long draw and have thus been carding rolags on my handcards, and am spinning them on my support spindles. I somehow always end up with the single drafting not evenly enough, leading to the thinnest part gathering all the twist and snapping! Is this an issue with my rolags, or does my spinning technique need refining?
