Spinners Rock!

You are master spinners!

Spinners Rock!

I learned a handful of new tricks - all of which were tried in succession and will come in handy again in the future I have no doubt (Thank you!), but boy, that end was stubborn. I thought I was going to have to resort to breaking off a new end, but then finally I tried a tip from the Bellwether’s post that Frith pointed out. The paperclip trick (nail clipper-hook-thingie in my case - apparently I don’t own any paperclips) of picking a top-level looking single and following it around until finding the end saved the day. Hurray!

Thank you all SO very much for your help - thanks to you, I’m off to spin!

    I’m glad the tricks worked out. Those singles are so beautiful and I was at a loss of what to suggest.

    I’m glad osmething worked. I wasn’t aware of the paper clip trick. I’ll be buying a box on my next trip out.

    Isn’t the Bellwether site wonderful? I learn so much from that one. I’m glad you were able to find the end of the yarn. It looks beautiful, by the way! Happy spinning!
