Hello,
        Even though it's still pretty cold since winter decided to 
come back to Central, NC I have already started to think of assorted 
summer fibers.  I only touch wool  between May and October to wash 
dirty fleeces.  It's way too hot here.  My plans include some flax 
spinning.  A gorgeous pound of blonde flax strick from Belgium, and 
two pounds of cotton.  The flax won't be much of a problem, specially 
now that I have finally gotten around to build as cage distaff and 
will be building a blocker before the end of April, but I and unsure 
about the cotton.  I have done a bit of cotton spinning both on the 
wheel and on a Tahkli, but am still not sure of how much twist to put 
in to be able to ply the resulting yarn.  The cotton is for a bulky 
type sweater for mid season.

        Suggestions?
        Thanks in advance
