wolle<p>hi spinning folk, do you have any tips for spinning wool with a very short staple length (like 3cm)? I've inherited a lot of old fibre but my first attempt at spinning a thin high twist yarn with it on my antique double dive wheel wasn't very promising. But I know the person spun a lot with it so it should be possible 😅</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/spinningyarn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinningyarn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handspinning</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/spinningwheel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinningwheel</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/fiberarts" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>fiberarts</span></a></span> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/fiberarts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiberarts</span></a></p>

Clothwright<p>One of the positive things about being not very good at spinning long draw is that when you do it, you concentrate on doing it... and that does not leave room for brain weasels to gnaw on bitter bits of the world's recent idiocies. </p><p><a href="https://a2mi.social/tags/100DaysStashdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>100DaysStashdown</span></a> <a href="https://a2mi.social/tags/BFL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BFL</span></a> <a href="https://a2mi.social/tags/wool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wool</span></a> <a href="https://a2mi.social/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handspinning</span></a> <a href="https://a2mi.social/tags/spinningyarn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinningyarn</span></a> <a href="https://a2mi.social/tags/spinnersofmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinnersofmastodon</span></a></p>
