She brushed her 2 Shelties ... and ... and I asked for the brushings!<br /><br />I'm not sure what spindle to use yet. Last year, I tried using a support spindle that I have, but it's different than spinning with a wheel or top whorl spindle. I find that due to the shaft length, my hands are much higher than my elbows and I have to raise my elbows a bit. And this is spinning with the support spindle in a small bowl between my legs. It was really tiring. I think I'll use my wee Golding instead :)<br /><br />I wouldn't know about dehairing the guard hairs, since spinning chiengora would be a first for me. I found this link for you through someone on Spinning Daily, HTH: http://www.mresource.com/fiber/Instructions.html<br /><br /><3,<br />-dAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
