And found the butt end of a small safety pin does the trick. I'll try an even smaller one, since I now find that the diz aperture size influences the fineness of the eventual yarn. This had escaped me in the excitement of discovering the concept.
Once again Occam's razor comes through. Good old Occam.
ReplyDeletethis is fascinating: to further complicate things, you might even want to play with the idea of two or more strands of different colors woven together? No?
Yes, I do that routinely. They're spun or combed or drafted together. Or two mixes plied together after the singles are spun on. Yes, endless playtime to be had.
DeleteVery cool that you got the butt end of the small safety pin to work.
ReplyDeleteI'm on a roll now, in search of the tiniest hole I can thread roving through. My competitive spirit is on it. Also I'm easily amused.
DeleteHahaha! I am easily amused to and it's the best. Here's to more fun. Cheers!
DeleteThe safety pin can be anchored very conveniently to your pants which means it's not going to wander off in the middle of useage. Rather inspired!
ReplyDeleteWe think of everything!
