Last night Stephene Gaustad delivered a new #0 flier from Alden Amos.
The bobbin has this morning's play on it. Note where the single crosses the dime. I think not bad for ordinary fiber with an ordinary prep.
This is a flier that takes Romney fleece and turns it into frog hair. I swore that I would never use that term, but there it is. I guess I have "cobweb" on the brain today.
Will this flier spin finer than the Alden Amos #1 production flier? Stephenie tests both by spinning 40,000 ypp singles on them before they get packed for shipment, so Alden will not promise that either flier will spin finer than 40,000 ypp, but yes, this flier will spin finer.
However, for spinning a lot of 11,000 ypp singles in a day, the #1 production flier is the tool of choice. For situations where I need to spin very fine, this is the tool of choice.

That looks like lovely work by both Alden Amos & yourself. Do you pre draft to keep up with the spinning wheel?
