The Jaggerspun mill once sold, to a friend of my sister's, a large quantity of the fiber that goes into their Zephyr yarn, 50/50 tussah silk/merino, that the mill equipment had choked on. They had had to turn the machinery off and pull the stuff out, some of it with black oil spilled on it, most not, but it wasn't worth what it would have cost AlisonHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10855515409382287056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424570.post-62178124314427214932007-04-18T18:25:00.000-07:002007-04-18T18:25:00.000-07:00I didn't exactly "predraft" Michelle, but I had su...I didn't exactly "predraft" <B>Michelle</B>, but I had such a wide variety of "chunks and slivers" that I sorted it some. I straightened out any long, thin slivers and spun them directly, drafting as I went. I pulled fiber lengths from the messier blobs and spun them tip to tip, more or less. For the thicker strips which were more like roving, I split them into thinner pieces and spun that way.

I'm not getting anything very uniform either, but I'm still new. LOLMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347145077404812632noreply@blogger.com
