HOW TO MAKE A PRE DRAFTED WOOL ROVING TO SPIN WITH

Making a pre drafted roving makes spinning easier, this is very simple and you can do it from a carded batt of wool! Take the pre drafted roving and roll into a ball to happily take your spinning with you anywhere. REMEMBER IF YOU WISH IT SMOOTH TAKE OUT TINY SLUBS, IF YOU WISH ART YARN LEAVE BUMPS IN.

Hi, I noticed you love alpaca fibers.  I have 3 champions, 2 of whom won at large fleece shows. If you are still looking for some special alpaca to spin send me an email or comment. I just traded 5 pounds of fine alpaca blanket, light fawn for a hitchhiker spinning wheel. I am watching the videos because I hope to get up to speed for a Spinning Exotic fibers at the Taos Wool Festival. Thanks for your video.

So glad it helped you. I occasionally will draft from a "blob" of fiber in my hand and spin it that way but I find if I want consistency that this way is best and quite relaxing too! Thanks so much and please subscribe if you like! blessings, grace in VT

Thanks Karen!! I am working on one for how to make tiny felted balls. I still have to get someone to film me spinning by hand spindle. Thank you so much for watching my videos! blessings, grace Ps. subscribe to mine if you like!

My lazy kate is really simple--just a wooden rectangle with rubber "feet" to keep it from slipping, and two lengths of dowel stuck in the rectangle. The bobbins go onto the dowels & turn pretty freely, or you can use a rubber band under the bobbins to tension them slightly. If you're plying from handspindles, maybe you could do the same thing, but push the copps off onto paper quills & put the quills on the dowels?  Anyway, a kate like that might be easy to make as a replacement for yours. :)

I am so happy! I had to learn a lot on my own for I learned to spin 20 years ago. Yet, weekly I learn something new with spinning!!

I am having issues PLYING as my lazy kate broke. Any creative ideas outthere??

thank you viewers!
