The bottom line is that my leg power will let me spin as fast as I can draft, and treadling gives me finer control over speed than a foot pedal on an e-spinner. <br /><br />Get out your tachometer and your e-spinner a compare your degree of speed control to your speed control treadling. (And, I have an e-spinner with a digital speed readout in plain view.)<br /><br />When I have a problem with the fiber, I can slow treadling down just enough to fix the problem. With an e-spinner, I slow down too much.<br /><br />Treadling is exercise that maintains blood flow through the body allowing longer and more intense spinning sessions.<br /><br />Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05150805906414546377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21068675.post-62923819951603899992014-04-07T16:47:52.479-07:002014-04-07T16:47:52.479-07:00So you're saying your hands are too stupid to ...So you're saying your hands are too stupid to draft at a rhythm (cadence) without your feet. Good thing you have full use of your legs or you'd be flat out of luck.<br /><br />If you're so interested in speed for its sake alone, which often seems to be the case with your observations and experiments, then the e-spinner would be a better choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
