Ask The Bellwether: How much yarn can I spin on my spindle?
http://askthebellwether.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-much-yarn-can-i-spin-on-my-spindle.html
How much yarn can I spin on my spindle? How much yarn you can spin onto a spindle depends on a variety of factors - and yes, you can influence these factors. For starters, do you have a "good weight" of spindle for the yarn you are spinning? If you're spinning fine, a heavy drop spindle will pull more than a light one (under 1 ounce), or than a supported spindle. If you're spinning thick, a light drop spindle or a support spindle will stop more quickly than a heavier drop spindle (over 1.5 ounces). As fo...
Ask The Bellwether: How do you tie a skein?
http://askthebellwether.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-do-you-tie-skein.html
How do you tie a skein? 169; November 14, 2013 by Amelia of Ask The Bellwether. A post on tieing skeins, really? Yes, really. As a spinner, this is something I do a lot. Every time I have a full spindle or bobbin of yarn ready to be finished (with a gentle wash, usually), I have to skein it up. That skein has a lifespan with chapters: first, it needs a wash. After washing, it is reskeined for storage. It might then be reskeined in preparation for the county fair or dyeing. To be efficient, actually. ...
Ask The Bellwether: What do you use singles for?
http://askthebellwether.blogspot.com/2014/01/what-do-you-use-singles-for.html
What do you use singles for? By Amelia © January 1, 2014, AskTheBellwether.com. Common spinning philosophy is that you "have to ply" so that your yarn is balanced. After all, if singles are unbalanced, and intrinsically they are, then they are hard to work with. Right? And, I agree - it isn't wrong to not ply. The key is to understand what you are working with. My bestie, D, spins singles and crochets up a storm. Her crochet is lovely and her singles are gorgeous, strong yarn. What do you use them for?
Ask The Bellwether: Which Spindle Spins the Best?
http://askthebellwether.blogspot.com/2007/03/which-spindle-spins-best.html
Which Spindle Spins the Best? March 2007, Amelia of AskTheBellwether.com. Spindle Physics, or, why some spindles are fast, some spin forever, and most are somewhere in between. I often talk to people about "spindle physics" in my booth, because their favorite question is, "which spindle spins the best? And of course, the answer is, "that depends.". There are physical attributes of spindles that assist in spinning certain types of fiber and certain types of yarn. But notice I said drop. No, Dorothy, I don...
Ask The Bellwether: How do I spin a more even single?
http://askthebellwether.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-do-i-spin-more-even-single.html
How do I spin a more even single? Thick spots tend to occur when the twist works its way into fibers you haven't drafted yet, which then won't draft, leaving a lump of thick before you can draft it out thin again. As you get more experience, you'll find you can actually let the twist get within about 1/2 a staple's length while still being able to draft out the fiber . your control will increase with practice. Do you have tips for spinning a more even single? Comment here or contact me. Subscribe with RS...

When Adam delved and Eve span: January 2009
http://whenadamdelvedandevespan.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
When Adam delved and Eve span. Spinning, knitting and other fibrous material. Monday, 19 January 2009. At my grand-daughter's birthday party on December 22nd, I discovered to my horror (but my DIL's evident relief) that her due date was to be brought forward and grandchild No 3 would be putting in an appearance at the end of this week. January 23rd to be precise. Horror because I thought I had a whole other month to knit the circular shawl I had planned. The very next day I made a start on Mandala. Thank...

Fleece, Fur & Feathers: February 2011

Fleece, Fur and Feathers. Follow our adventure into farming featuring alpacas, Anatolian Shepherds, chickens and the llama. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. 2 Roos and a Bevy of Barred Rocks. We made it through the winter and only lost a couple of hens. Three of our 6 chicks that we hatched late September made it. We lost 1 of them to a predator, 1 to Luke our livestock guardian dog, and 1 just disappeared. Of the 3 survivors, 2 are pullets and 1 cockerel. They are about 5 months old now. Last fall, I wrote...

Fleece, Fur and Feathers. Follow our adventure into farming featuring alpacas, Anatolian Shepherds, chickens and the llama. Saturday, August 31, 2013. I feel like we've been on hiatus for the past year or so. Leaving the corporate world 2 years ago was my dream come true. I'd have time to build my dog training business, take care of the farm, get my house in order, and have time to spin my ever-growing supply of alpaca fleece. We are the only property on our road to have an ag exemption. And have alpaca ...

Ways to Stimulate Healthy Habits to Get You Going. December 27, 2014. Ways to Stimulate Healthy Habits to Get You Going. Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it. So many times we make resolutions but sadly many of us lose our momentum. 3 “Everything you are used to, once done long enough...
Ask The Bellwether
Why should I care about twist? By Amelia © July 15, 2016. My nephew is visiting, and amidst my studio spring cleaning, I found a NIB Duncan butterfly yo-yo, so of course I offered it to him. He knew exactly what it was and proceeded to rip open the package and give it a spin. A yo-yo string looks like a very tight 2-ply but is actually a folded cable — a 3-yard length of regular cotton string is taken, twist is added (a lot of twist! But any yarn left wrapped tightly on something long enough will lose it...
