even more ramblings
Yesterday I finally played with my Yarnshifter it's the same method as for a Triloom. A triloom has nails or dowels to wrap the yarn over where as the Yarnshifter has a plastic coil like a book binding reed. Have a look at www.seedpower.com Ok a triloom can be made dead easily with some nails and 2"x1" wood but the Yarnshifter can do more as well as different shapes. Now the BSC newsletter has been posted I can play with it. Mind you I have 5 Shetland fleeces processed into roving to spin up only done 5 ozs so far but it is being spun up woolly and fluffy. It should turn out very warm and should be able to felt up a bit once its woven.On Monday I went for my Bloods to be done a ritual every month at the moment to do with my transplant All sorts are checked as well keeping an eye on my medication levels. Tomorrow I will ring up to see what the results are and find when my next one is. Last month I was told it was an MOT. Thats a full check up ! It involves an overnight stay as I will be having a biopsy and an angiogram and a Bloods check up. Sounds fun it's my first MOT.

Hi Nick, nice to read about a man interested in spinning & weaving! Years ago I bought a Yarnshifter from Josh & Nikki Bond, who appear to have given up the business since then. I was supposed to receive regular newsletters on the use of the Yarnshifter for different shapes (I have more equipment than I know what to do with), but only ever received 1 and now I'm stuck on how to use it. I've trawled the Net extensively in search of help but this is the first post I found that's halfway helpful. Which BSC newsletter are you referring to, that expands on the Yarnshifter's use?
