I do have a Lendrum DT myself, and it can do pretty much anything.<BR/><BR/>As for BFL, well, not everyone likes it (I do, though). :) My only suggestion is to keep your hands farther apart when drafting than you do for merino to account for BFL's longer staple length.Mickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347259749101678339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20935833.post-46168368038991542262008-10-13T15:56:00.000-05:002008-10-13T15:56:00.000-05:00I want to spin fine yarn, too.

I want to make sure I get the right one so I don't find myself wishing I'd gotten a different one.<BR/><BR/>I think that yarn is very pretty!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14581612215378945075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20935833.post-28670221517685666032008-10-13T15:40:00.000-05:002008-10-13T15:40:00.000-05:00First of all, congratulations on your recent nupti...First of all, congratulations on your recent nuptials! Everything looked so beautiful! <BR/>I think your handspun looks great. But Im having the same problem with BFL like you. I think you should try the superwash...I found it a bit easier to spin compared to the non-superwash. I still have some issues spinning with merino though but then again, I'm still a newbie. You can also prolly resell your wheel through Ravelry too. I got a new wheel recently but Ravelry is a good place to research what people are saying about their wheels. I love mine...but that's a completely biased opinion. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20935833.post-30356657032520990992008-10-13T15:24:00.000-05:002008-10-13T15:24:00.000-05:00your yarn is beautiful and would make the most bea...your yarn is beautiful and would make the most beautiful knit something! what's it made of?
