As a complete beginner to spinning I would like to know things like suitable 'starter' fleece breeds or what type of wool to buy for a first attempt - a whole fleece, a commercially prepared top or carded batt? and the best 'starter' spinning technique. I.e. Is it easier to spin from a roving a top or a rolag and what methods to use on each. How to know when you have enough twist, how to set up your spinning wheel, which is the best type of wheel for a beginner. How to prepare a fleece, does it need washing and if so then How to know if a fleece needs oiling after being washed and before trying to spin it. How to know when/if your wheel needs oiling. Lots of mysteries here!
