Maybe what yarn/fiber people are having issues with or questions? I've been sleeping quite some time looking up ply and twist and different wool (e.g. breed of 🐑 vs knitting it with... Or how it dyes)...
If people have special info on any fiver6 then tell us so we don't have to be overwhelmed by the interwebs and can get concise information?
For example, if it doesn't say sock, what do I risk making socks out of it... Versus it is just sock weight... It can be confusing!!

I'd love to know where people get their bases... Many I think want to hold that tight and quiet as an "industrial secret"...
I just want to play around with dye for now because I'm kinda of picky. 😁

#5.107-16-2019, 04:37 PMEditing a commentI'm a dabbler at dyeing and have bought bases from Wool2dye4. Normally, you have to buy skeins in 10 ct. packages but twice a year they offer five skein packages which is more manageable for dabblers.

07-25-2019, 10:41 AMEditing a commentI’d like to know where dyers buy their yarn as well. I’m thinking of asking some of them...it wouldn’t be competition for their products as I’d just like to try out dyeing for myself. I’m in love with tight twist sock weight wool & nylon yarn right now. I am not a fan of single ply at all!!

There needs to be a "Fiber Processing" sub-category, or words to that effect. This would include fiber sources, washing fiber, carding/hand carding/combing fiber, all the things to prepare to get it to the roving stage for spinning.

How about flax processing? I am currently drying my 2nd flax crop for spinning. It was harvested a week ago and is hanging outside on my deck in the sun. I am trying to decide if I want to rett it now or wait until next year.

Isn't it already in spinning?
