Pain In Hips More Condition

Day with spindle and distaff yarn

week participating in the training session of hand spinning and spinning wheel spindle Lorda issued by Horacio Jauregui.
The truth though it had a spinning spindle had failed ... and was a slope on my list. There was a lot of information and practice quite different options.
For me I'm bug city some things were very new ... other girls who live in countryside areas had experience in the preparation of the fiber.

Eg. to wash the wool put it in a plastic bag ... (Those in which comes the pumpkin or potato) and according to the method we take Mapuche boiling water in a Fuentona ... then put it on wood and beaten very hard, many times, then rinse the Mapuche in the river with cold water.

My mother had shouted: boiling water to wool nooooooooo !!!!! But according to Horacio

is not necessarily so, and that the 3 conditions for felting (hot water, PH rubbing and modification of wool) and only use one that is not felted. This method

lanolin (a wax) and the Wool grease (animal perspiration, which gives the smell of wool) was diluted in water.

then squeezed the wool ... if we have a spinner ... we can give you a pass and then from there with that little moisture to spin.

learned that wool is measured in microns, one thousandth of a millimeter ... there broken wool, which has less commercial value and it is broken because the animals suffer stress ... that we may wash the wool with soap (limpsul), which is made smooth vinegar and hydrogen peroxide bleaching. Horacio

made a brief history of the spindle and how did it evolve the wheel, then saw the component parts and their use, types of twists ... and practice and practice .... Towards the end

apuraditas and saw a brief classification of craft yarns, the three variables in play for this are the thickness, twist, and the regularity of the fiber.

Well I leave some photos to enjoy, the first is a Uruguayan friend who came specially to this day and turned on the same day. The others are mine.
