To Twinkie,
Cashmere is so fine, that getting some cotton hand cards and carding by
hand is not so laborious. You can card, then spin, then card or card
about a shoe box worth and spin it. I should be carded, then made into
punis or rolags and spun in a woolen manner. That is drawing back while
the twist goes into the fibre hand.
I tried combing some cotton once on my mini combs. It definitely did
not work.
To make punis, get a chop stick or thin straight stick. Lay the stick
on top of the carded wool and wrap it tightly onto the stick,
lengthwise. Tighten it a bit and then slide it off. It is difficult to
describe how to make these, but that is what I do. You will probably
enjoy spinning from punis.
