What, you ask, is this monstrosity? Well, it is officially my solution to setting the twist in my first hand spun yarn which involves 2 hangers, a small basket and a large craft punch. Hey, it's what I had on hand, so don't ask!
I finished up with all the spinning a little over a week ago, but just hadn't gotten to the part where I put the whole skein in hot water for a half an hour, then shock it in cold before smacking it around a bit and hanging the whole thing up to dry. I woke up (kinda early for a day off) and decided I really should just get the deed done.
So, currently this is the lovely view from our patio and it will remain so for at least the next day. Truly, I am high maintenance, lol.
Looks good. I recently read that you can hang a wet hand towel through the yarn to help set the twist. I'm a relatively new spinner and followed this bit of advice last time. As far as I can see it worked well.
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks for the advice! I'll try that next time once I get all my new pretty roving in the mail :)
