My first spinning class was equal parts fascinating and frustrating. I wish I had a day to do nothing but practice. I am a total disaster at this but I'm hoping I'll get the hang of it if I can carve out some time to work on it. This week is going to be tough but I do have some holidays coming up soon.
As the picture shows, my rental wheel is a Schacht Ladybug. It seems like a good wheel. We are leaning to do long draw and at the moment it appears that control of the twist is happening by magic. And if I get the twist going, then something happens when I try to let it wind up on the bobbin. I can get the treadling going, I can get one of my hands doing what it is supposed to be, but combining everything together, not so much.
