Took a class on cotton spinning tonight, some notes before I forget:
- Treadle fast (like three times faster then normal) and don't grip the fiber hardly at all (except with your pinky). Let the twist eat it out of your hand. Treadle fast, backwards draw slow.
- Tahkli spinning...I need some work on that. Hold fiber so it come off the tip, don't let it wrap again around the hook.

Spontaneity coupled with obsession... Je regrette rien!

where do you
take your class?
At a place in Berkeley, called Deep Color. It's a very cool place.
