How to put new cotton on your Hurdy-Gurdy

[@marcserraa]

So helpful now that I own a hurdy gurdy!

Thank you. The problem that I'm having is finding cotton with long-enough fibers. All the cotton I've tried so far is like a compaction of very short fibers, and sometimes the fibers are going in all directions. Some the fibers are so short that they are almost like dust. I've tried taking cotton out of a tampon and it was basically the same thing - highly compressed, short fibers. The result is that the cotton doesn't nicely wrap AROUND the string - it bunches up into knots. I guess I can keep on buying bags of cotton until I find something that works, unless someone can recommend a particular brand of cotton balls that are suitable.

Interesting, I take it you couldn't use something like wool as that is greasey and wouldn't give enough friction to produce a good sound.

True! Grease is dissolving the rosin!
