According to expert seamstress, the fiber should be held at a particular slight angle to the spindle so that there is a wonderful and noticeable twist. After spinning the yarn, it should be wound right onto the spindle by moving the fiber like as if forming a right angular shape with the spindle. The great wheel was actually famous in Europe back in the fourteenth century. With wool, seamstresses could now come up with shoulder blankets, dresses, shirts, belts, door hangings, saddle blankets, hair ties, blankets, and kilts. From men to women When weaving was first practiced, many looked at it like it was a man s work. In fact, back then, the men were the ones who could be found weaving. Balance is very important. The location of the whorl on the shaft will affect the balance of the drop spindle, just like the whorl shape. Check the bottom-whorl spindle by resting the tip over the right surface and twirling it. Allow the fingers to flick the shaft so that it will spin, then create a circle using your fingers to let the spindle rotate freely, but still keeping its position upright. Tie the end of the leader yarn with the new homespun yarn that is still connected to the spindle. Wind the rest of the leader yarn and some of the new yarn onto the spindle shaft. Wind up the shaft then catch using the hook, so that the yarn still hangs in a perpendicular manner to the floor. Winding The number of fibers that enter each segment while spinning will determine the consistency and thickness of the yarn. After the ginning process, the fibers are cleaned in preparation for spinning. About the cotton The cotton is cleaned by removing the bits of dirt, while the carding pulls the fibers to form a parallel line in preparation for the spinning process. They are then rolled over a very thin layer of carded cotton with a specific stick in order to come up with very tight cylinders that measure approximately fifteen centimeters long. The difference in speed or ratio is changed by the size of the whorls, as well as the tension of the drive band. The drive band on the double drive wheel is made of non-stretch twine or yarn. Sometimes, candlewick can be used. The Single Drive The single-drive wheel includes the drive band going around the flyer and brake on the bobbin.
