Simple solutions


Ive been having a problem with my plying...not the plying itself but the yarn being fed to the wheel, my little upright lazy kate tended to spin a little too freely allowing my yarn to gather around the spoke and causing the yarn to snag and snarl, then a comment by someone recently talking about lazy kates made me stop and think........
By turning the lazy kate on its side I stopped the freewheeling bobbins....such a simple solution and works brilliantly!

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best solutions.

Keep up the good work.

No I'm not coming over to the dark side even for a cookie.
