[@suewinn4426]

thank you for showing long draw and explaining about why my yarn is getting finer I have learned so much from your videos and really enjoy you wonderful work, Sue

[@jkfiberarts]

I am glad that you found some good info in my rambling! Thank You for watching. Spin Happy!😃

[@SylviaHonigmann-bn9qc]

You make it so Fine! Very nice, compliment!❤

I don't know how you have the time to work, spin and edit on a daily basis during TdF! You are amazing.

[@jkfiberarts]

I am not much of a sleeper! LOL. But I will slow down. I have been spinning thick, I just started a sock spin and my singles are 40+ WPI. It will take me a few days! Plus we are leaving for the beach for a long weekend so I won’t be doing much then! And my editing has been minimal! I have the next 2 days of video already scheduled!

To me, you are a machine, Kirsten, you are achieving so much. I am so enjoying learning more about the range of ways to spin (and why), and I greatly appreciate how you are so specific on your descriptions. I find it inspiring. Thank you! PS I love the real close-ups.

[@jkfiberarts]

Thanks for watching! Not a machine, just trying to get in as much as I can. I have days ahead where I won’t be able to post! Spinning thin =more time to finish! Spin Happy! 😃

I have this Kromski and 2 others. My whorl is flipped compared to yours. The larger side further away from the bobbin. Does it matter?

[@jkfiberarts]

I dont see why it would. The whorl size gives you the ratio of flyer revolutions to one wheel revolution. It should not matter which one is closer to the bobbin. The important bit is what size whorl you use. Maybe you have a newer model than mine or vice versa. When I got my auto level winder it kept breaking and I sent it back twice for repairs and the owner had to replace the 3-d printed orifice with a metal one because my wheel was older and there was something Kromski did to make their wheels more uniform.
