Re: [fibernet] Re: ring spinning frame
Hi Peggy, Ring spinning frames are indeed, industrial spinners. Go to www.ozarkcarding.com to our process page and you will be able to see a picture of our cotton ring spinner. Wool, alpaca, etc can be spun on ring spinners. The size of the ring depends upon the length of the fiber to be spun. Shorter fibers are spun on ring spinners that have smaller rings. Longer fibers are spun on machines that have larger rings. We use our cotton spinner for shorter fibers of alpaca and some alpaca, wool and bamboo blends. If you're going to be a Kid N Ewe, come by and see our yarns. They have a tighter twist to them than the larger ring spinners used by local cottage mills. Gail, Ozark Carding Mill.
Re: [fibernet] Re: ring spinning frame
first of all, i believe it is an industrial machine and so you very likely would not find ordinary pictures of it but. if you go to her site, there is a picture of her at hers i dont know how to get there now, but maybe you still have her post with the site. nice white barn and smaller building besides. peggy carlevato wrote: i believe i must be suffering from a nearly-terminal case of the simples. i have been sitting at this crazy confuser for more than an hour trying to find ring spinning frames a/o a picture thereof and have had absolutely no success. ???would appreciate any help. thanks.. peg --- On Mon, 10/26/09, Turan Albini laz...@hughes.net wrote: From: Turan Albini laz...@hughes.net Subject: [fibernet] Re: ring spinning frame To: fibernet@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, October 26, 2009, 10:40 PM I like it, but it doesn't replace my Reeves. But for doing a large pile of wool in a way that I can control and enjoy the results it is fun. I even get paid which seems amazing to me. By the way, the ring spinning frame I use is from Carolina Specialtys, not McDermott. McDermotts retrofitted an old spinning frame for us that we use for plying.
