Fine Adjustments on the Ashford Wheel; Steps and Tools for Hand-spinning
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
First installment of a monthly spinning column in The Minnesota Weaver. It gives a tip for getting finer draw-tension adjustments on an Ashford wheel by replacing the rubber band on the nylon tension cord with a small spring, and a time-saving method for plying singles from a ball wound on a ball winder. It also includes diagrams and a step list of hand-spinning, from sorting and washing fleece through carding, spinning, plying, skeining, and winding into a ball, showing the use of lazy kates, niddy noddys, and swifts.
