Even that yarn I used to knit a hat. Once I've got the wheel, I used all my handspun to knit right away. Of course it was uneven spun, and I still do that, it's handspun after all. As long as it holds together after plying and washing, it's yarn for me. I've not done single ply for knitting. I just think it's a waste of time, because it's not especially strong. Have fun with your spinning! :o)Monikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088557380015172558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36504864.post-79576960028668212492008-07-20T21:35:00.000-04:002008-07-20T21:35:00.000-04:00Hey Maggie, As for the Julia, yes, I do notice a l...Hey Maggie, <BR/><BR/>As for the Julia, yes, I do notice a little bit of wobble, but not really enough to bother me. It has to do with the wheel design - the orifice isn't supported, so you really only have one end of the bobbin that's attached to the wheel. So, you'll get a definite wobble at super high speeds. <BR/><BR/>I'm ok with that, but I do know that it would bother other spinners. Personally, I'm quite in love with my Julia and she will likely be my wheel for life. (But I'm a huge Louet fan.) :)<BR/><BR/>~debThe Ninja Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16567197383868661454noreply@blogger.com
