I have to admit that the plastic keeps sliding around and it is indeed noisy and a wee bit hot, so I'm going to be hunting through my scarves to find a silk one. Thanks so much for the tip.Lynnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459520887792560982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231303442426460519.post-83900165700814813562014-06-17T02:35:22.065-07:002014-06-17T02:35:22.065-07:00When spinning silk I lay an old silk scarf across ...When spinning silk I lay an old silk scarf across my legs.

I want to get a nice long colour change and if I spun from the fold it would be a much shorter repeat.Lynnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459520887792560982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231303442426460519.post-73074111843233898722014-06-05T05:35:59.873-07:002014-06-05T05:35:59.873-07:00so you are spinning straight from the sliver and n...so you are spinning straight from the sliver and not from the fold? <br /><br />Thanks for the tip about the plastic "apron"....I've been finding silk filament everywhere since spinning silk on my jeans last week.<br /><br />Love those colors!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226371437929271405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231303442426460519.post-26631464512968608792014-06-04T18:09:40.517-07:002014-06-04T18:09:40.517-07:00The colors are lovely!
