Etsy




I'm finally posting pictures of my Kissel Electric Spinner. I am using it to spin an angora/merino blend. So far I like it. It's pretty quiet. I haven't tried all of the ratio's yet as I need a slightly bigger O ring or drive band. It came with 8 bobbins, two of which were pretty much totalled in the shipping process. There is a second outlet marked "light " where the motor plugs into the foot pedal/cord. According to the directions that Lynne graciously sent me the case model is supposed to double as a lazy kate. Most of my spinning is done on a Baynes castle wheel.
Today I opened an Etsy store :

I finally finished plying the Australian merino that I spun during the Tour de Fleece. 700 plus yards, my thinnest spinning yet!
