Wool spining while touring

Hi Snailbait,
Here's a word of warning. Spinning is addictive and you can never have enough spinning wheels, (my wife has 5- 3 manual and 2 electric)

Ashford (NZ) are one of the best known makes in Australia and NZ but there are others equally as good. Good wheels can be found second hand at good prices.


I have found that just about every country town has a spinners group, mainly women, but genrally males are welcome provided they keep quiet.

I do not complain about it as I can go Woodturning while she is spinning.

Disco .

Snailbait, My wife did spinning when we were in the country. She had a "traveller" spinning wheel as the group that she was in held a spinning night at a different person's house each week and it was easy to place in the car. You need to use a specific type of wool to get the best results. Can't remember what the type was.

Cheers

In the interests of road safety, I must strongly caution against any textile related activities whilst touring.

Only yesterday, I drove past one of those illuminated signs on the Gateway Motorway, which specifically warned:

"UNNECESSARY WEAVING CAUSES ACCIDENTS"

Hi Snailbait

I am sorry, but I have to ask. If knitting when travelling, does the speed change from kmh to knots.

Cheers
