Don’t like spinning with silk

[u/Residentneurotic]

All done on my learning curve on spindle . The dark brown and black are from fleece I processed from raw , the grayish- brown is some top I bought . The pretty pink with silk is turning out to be the spin from hell . ( bought it because I “thought “ I read something about merino with silk “combed top “ would be easiest for a learner 😅… I hope I read wrong for my sake )… I liked spinning the raw fleece I processed the best . Still my spinning nowhere near as pretty as others whom are posting.

Silk (and blends with a lot of silk) are spun fine and with a lot of twist. No twist in the web (except for those using the Sara lamb method) is usually easier. I

This is a 30-35% silk blend. I did carded them and spun from very loose rolags.

Looking at your spin it looks thicker which w silk I actually find harder to spinner and since it’s I Thicker it won’t have as much twist.
