100 Degree Coils!
July 16th, 2006 by Aisha
It’s been hitting 100 degrees here in Minnesota, and yes I have been spinning in this horrible heat. I should also add that I do not have an air conditioner! The last time I moved I decided that I didn’t need it anymore (what a fool).
Today I grabbed my Handspun Revolution book by Lexi Boeger and decided that it was finally time to try out some of her designs. This one is the Super-Coil on page 51. I can’t believe how much yarn it takes up. See, you take a single and thread, you ply about 3 inches then you push the single up towards the orifice. I used maybe 60 yards of left over singles and got 15 yards out of it when I was done. Once I get my Jumbo Flyer for my Ashford Traveller I will be doing this one again!

They’re beautiful!
and we have a/c, so it’s a win-win!
I wish we’d known you don’t have A/C, you could have come to our house & gotten cooled off with Lola licks
The new yarns are gorgeous!

I always love your yarn I see on Craftster. These coils are outrageous. I can only imagine what a dynamo you’ll be after the spinning camp. I ordered that book ages ago and hope someday it will arrive in my mailbox!

That yarn looks like so much fun to spin, and soooo purdy too!
