What kind of machine this is
I have read hemp and abaca are very different. Do you think your spinning setup would work with abaca? That would be fantastic if it does. michael.kendall@ymail.com
Can I crochet with it?
Because I am finding durability as opposed to cotton or acrylic
I make bears and they want hemp I know nothing
Where did you get your spinning machine?
That's really cool. Have you made anything from hemp yet?
@Knitting1970 By traditional I guess I mean European. I am not familure with your reference book. My reference is Linen Hand Spinning and weaving by Patricia Baines, alos a couple of Bette Hocberg's little books. As far as S versus Z All youtube videos show flax spun Z. Times are a changing.
@TheMrpiggyboy When you say "traditional", are you referring to ancient Egyptian times or European and if so, are you speaking of singles or ply? I'm referingr to the Christian & Johannes Zinzendorf book on flax, p.104
I must say, I'm impressed with your library and that you are right. I wonder how you feel about the traditional way of spinning flax and other bast fibres counterclockwisem(S direction)?
@TheMrpiggyboy Spinning styles don't change. Her backwards drafting is textbook perfect and can be confirmed with any spinning library. Her twist is not entering her fiber supply. If it was, she would not need to be moving her drafting hand as much as she is. Water or not, hemp or flax can maintain enough energy to hold twist. Please reference your sources for what you see as woolen. I'm referencing the M. Ross, J. Mackenzie, A. Amos, A. Fields, and J. Boggs books that are in my library.
@Knitting1970 Well maybe have another look. Looks to asthough the twist is entering the fibre supply. Again a little moisture. The video is 2 years old , the spinning stye has changed by now. A bonus to her for producing any yarn on that make of wheel.
@TheMrpiggyboy She isn't doing woolen. She's doing a backwards shortdraw and not letting the twist into the drafting zone past her left hand. If she wanted to, she could do woolen & longdraw with hemp with a low uptake on the flyer since this wheel is bobbin driven, but a flyer driven wheel with scotch tension would be better a better choice. Even then, it would not truly be considered woolen as the fibers are parallel.
Hemp should be spun worsted and not woollen as you are doing, you may try adding a little moisture to the fibre.
