When I started spinning, I saw that traditional hand spinners had produced 80s (worsted 45,000 ypp / 90 m/gm) singles as a commercial product.
I asked, "Who will teach me to spin such things?"
Nobody stepped forward. They had forgotten how to spin such things, and even forgotten that such things could be hand spun.
So, I worked it out for myself. The process works. In addition to letting one spin finer, it allows one to spin faster. I did not invent the process. It was developed in 12th century Italy. Both Priestman and Alden Amos reference the technology and tell us that it is very important. I merely worked out some practical details.
Now, other spinners would rather stand in the back and call me names than come forward and see how it is done.
Shame on them.
