to protect the investment of your time... I would go with an hourly rate ...
This can be a good idea if you're quite accustomed to
production spinning and have a good, consistent spinning rate.
But if you're just starting to set up a business of spinning
for hire, I think an hourly rate sounds
... I believe you are writing about a Magnus Drudik wheel from Salem, OR. His
wife, Heidi, is in our local spinning group here.
So can you then tell us whether Magnus is still making wheels?
Did I not hear that he was training an apprentice?

One, in particular, I would gladly break up into fairly small pieces, grab
the person who made it, and return the wheel, one
piece at a time where the sun don't shine.
Gosh, d2, why don't you tell us what you really think g?

The two wheels that have caught my eye:
1. Kromski Minstrel ...
The Minstrel is a lovely little wheel, but IMO it tends to
be a bit tippy. This could be a problem for someone who is
used to a big husky wheel that stays put.
But I imagine a person could learn to adapt if s/he really
Jerry Jensen once remarked, as I was playing with his great wheel at a show
You and a few others know its not the wheel, but the spinner who makes good
yarn.
I agree! When I first bought my wheel, I chose it because
it was the one I could make yarn on. I was lucky in that I
still have, and
All the singles
have merino, with another fiber thrown in, just because I was experimenting
with various fibers.
So there's going to be differences in the plies, based on the various
fibers I used.
I can tell it's going to be a learning experience.
I do hope you keep us informed as you
June,
The Pegasus is really beautiful - congrats!

But it's made of teeny little granny squares, and I fear
I'll never have the patience to sew them all together.
Wonder if it might not be possible to crochet them together?
With something similar to the three-needle (knit) bind-off?

I'm getting ready to use some spun-up Lincoln for socks for
my son. He says he doesn't mind scratchy socks because he's
inherited my gene for feet that are always freexing. He
claims the irritation caused by scratchy wool keeps the
blood flowing and helps keep his feet a little warmer.
Is there anything other than moth balls that deters mice?
Not sure what you object to about moth balls, but if it's
the lingering odor from the naphthelene, then you could try
using the 'other' moth balls (which also come in crystal and
block form) and whose odor goes away rather quickly.
Pantry moths are not the same thing as wool moths so I don't thing
these traps will work to protect your wool.
I think that's probably the case - and in fact, I just
ordered both pantry moth traps AND closet moth traps
(separate lures) from Gardens Alive (Nayy, of course). I
