I sat down at my wheel again this week and feel that I've totally forgotten everything I learned. Rats! I was working on some Merino and I just can't seem to pick it up again. I keep breaking my thread and having to start over again. Very frustrating.
I haven't tried switching to Scotch tension because I didn't know how to do it, so I went to my fiber shop today for some instruction. I also bought some new fiber, Corriedale and Blue Faced Leicester which should be easier to spin.
There's a 6-week spinning class offered through our Parks & Rec. that I'll sign up for in the fall. I think I need to actually spin with someone watching over me to really get it. I tend to over spin and some of my yarn comes out in little kinks.
Guess I shouldn't have stopped for the weaving - don't know if it's something that you need to do for a while before it sticks with you - or if I'm just having a difficult week. Maybe it's the heat....
