Yikes! :) I don't know if I've just given up ever trying to spin a 'true' Shetland ring yarn, or whether I've had a new goal set for me <g> Beverly Horne's Fleece in Your Hands was one of my very first spinning books, and has been an inspiration to me. I was so thrilled when I was first able to spin a yarn as fine as her Merino project, 4300 yards per pound as a two ply. The shawl she made with that yarn is not nearly as fine, comparing photos, as the pictures of true ring shawls I've seen. Now I understand why they say in books it could take a year to spin 2 ounces of yarn :) I wonder if they were paid enough to truly make that time more remunerative than other activities? Deborah, you always give such choice bits of information when you post! I wish you would post more often :) Holly To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
