I took my Hansen mini e-spinner pro on another test drive today. I set things up to ply yarn. It took me a few minutes to change the direction of the spin to clockwise. There were a few bumps that were soon fixed. The e-spinner is very intuitive. I finished a skein and 1/2 of art yarn plying. The only other way that I have gotten my plying so consistent is with a Golding or Forrester drop spindles. I have not managed that level of consistency with either of my spinning wheels.
I find it very interesting that I can achieve great results in plying with very old school spinning equipment and very new school equipment. Just not on the middle ground of equipment. I will have to ruminate on this for a few days to try to figure this out. If you have any ideas or opinions, I would be very interested in hearing from you.
My only regret with my Hansen mini Pro e-spinner is that I did not order 5 bobbins, I only ordered 3 purple ones to match the wood. I am sure that this is easily fixed when I have time.
I do need the input from my younger readers. Today while shopping at Sephora. I was checking out and the sales person who I did not know called me mom instead of ma’am. Is that a new thing among younger people to call older women mom or was she just not sure of the etiquette of the situation. I was really taken a back by this. Then probably spent too much time overthinking it. If this is a corporate thing, just stop, it’s rude and some people who are older have never had kids so they don’t want to be called mom. Please feel free to weigh in on this.
