>> I think it's a reasonable assumption, though, that modern Shetland wool,
with its tight crimp, would be an easier wool to spin for a ring shawl than
the 'medium' type Shetland fleece I used for my small sample. <<

So <thinking> if you're going to spin a ring shawl, like it was done in
Shetland in the 1800s, shouldn't a fiber as close to the kind of Shetland
fiber that was available back then, be used? And shouldn't it be spun on a
drop spindle, rather than a spinning wheel?
