I did not realize how hard it is for people to spin right handed. I started trying to spin right handed when my left hand started to get sore. I am ambidextrous and try to learn everything with both hands. I have been spinning left handed for over 15 years. I guess by now the sensation of the spun yarn going through my left hand is ingrained. So it might take me a while to learn spinning right handed.
On my e spinner I am currently working on a project for my sister. The roving is thinner than pencil roving. If you can believe that. The rolls are huge 270 meters per 100 grams plus or minus the industry standard of 5%. Which translates into United States measurements as 295.276 yards and 3.527 ounces plus or minus 5%. With any luck the first roll will fit on one bobbin. I am approximately half way through the first roll. As you can see from the bobbin this should ply into a Worsted or Aran weight yarn. Once I finish spinning this roll and the second roll my sister will get 2 to 3 skeins of plyed yarn. Since she has a skein winder at home I am going to give her huge skeins and not break it down to 100 yards per skein.
