Some great ideas, thank you
Please keep them coming.
I can already see a bit about how to shape the article and how to divide things between Sally and me. We don't live close together so will have to each write some parts and exchange info that way, then stick the bits together.
I definitely won't be doing worsted and long draw woollen spinning
. It's not that I don't spin worsted, but my way is a bit self taught, and I've never felt my fleece prep is good enough for long draw....so that's definitely one of your bits Sally
Wheels too and how to adjust. I can do raw fleece to spinnable prep, but be prepared - for me fleece begins way back with breeds, animal health and pasture management
It sounds as if we should divide it up into named sections or it will be muddled. How about fleece; spindles and wheels; spinning how to, mostly basic including plying, but extending a bit into fancy yarns; how to wash, finish, dye yarn.
Something like that? I think Rosemary will be asking someone else to write about knitting, weaving, peg looms, rag rugs etc. Not sure where felting goes.
