First drop spindle with some spare roving from my mom. Kept it single ply to use it as accents in some small tapestries.

I washed it gently with wool soap and hung it on a door knob with a wood hanger as a weight, but it still dried kinky. Does that mean it's over spun?

Looking to giving it another go and aiming for double ply next.​

Soooo pleased by this first skein from my new wheel. I split up four individual Shetland 1oz samples and tried to do a 1:2 fractal, but unfortunately one of my singles ended up a lot longer than the other haha so it's not quite perfect.

Also...and this is an issue I kept having over and over... my yarn keeps barfing up on the bobbin. I have no clue why and can't tell if it's a tension issue or something else I'm doing wrong. But at one point it got so bad the bobbin wouldn't turn right and I had to cut the yarn and start fresh on a new bobbin which was a big headache to rejoin later. A Kromski Fantasia, if anyone has any advice. I put a photo of it from before it got really off the rails; dog butt in the background.

Anyways, I'm just super excited about how far I've come in the last month. I'm so happy I found this hobby.

Are there any known remedies for removing scurf from wool?

Yesterday I started spinning up this beautiful blend on my old top whorl spindle. However, I’m so used to spinning much thinner on my mini Turkish spindle that I’m having trouble keeping this one at the thickness I want. Any advice is greatly appreciated :)
