Generally, the lighter the spindle, the finer the singles. My T-spindles range from 11.6g to 23g, but I have friends with T-spindles that are as little as 6g. They're used for spinning frog hair. 😉

Siri: Less than owning sheep.

It's on my calendar. Now it just depends on the weather. 🥵

Somewhere a Reeves is missing 2 bobbins, its "bug" (as in VW) kate, and its distaff. I think the flyer is from a Lendrum. You might contact the seller so these parts can get to the wheel owners.

TBH, I've haven't given it much thought. All the yarns in the studio are US-spun to meet labeling requirements. Everything I've bought in 2025 came from CA, OR, or WA, not because of politics, but because my all suppliers are on the West Coast (many in my fibershed).

What you're describing is "intentional" spinning, which takes both knowledge & practice. "The Intentional Spinner" by Judith Mackenzie will supply the knowledge. You know the rest. 😉

A Macomber CP ("Baby Mac") doesn't take up any more floor space than a rigid-heddle loom on its stand. Just sayin'... 😉 #enabler

/2 suppliers. It's not nice, and reflects poorly on the person doing the bad-mouthing.

I've been doing business with the owners of Georgia Yarn Company for about 20 years, and they are friendly, honest, and knowledgeable. The fiber arts community knows their reputation, and is happy to do business with them. OTOH, the fiber arts community doesn't really like people who slam their 1/🧵

*Sigh.* Had you bothered to LOOK at what Michael sells, you'd see that he sells Georgia-grown cotton yarns. But you didn't look. Just as you didn't bother to Google "American-made yarns." If you had, you might have found this list of suppliers. www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/01/13/a...

Sorry, but you're wrong: Not ALL yarns are imported. Georgia Yarn Co. & Brown Sheep Yarn Co. are just 2 of many companies producing/selling US-made yarns. #knowyoursuppliers #dontspreadrumors
