My little Violet does make a bit of noise (sounds like my sewing machine) so I gave her a little sweater to wear. LOL (one of my hand knit dishcloths worked perfect!) That helps keep her a bit quieter & she doesn't overheat because it doesn't cover the vents in the motor. And a little drop of oil on the rotating post where the band goes made a world of difference in the noise too! Now she's a smooth spinner, and really FAST!
Here she is with a bobbin full of yarn. I plied this 163 yards of worsted/bulky yarn in no time!
This little e-spinner might not be totally silent like some of the other models out there, but for the money you just can't go wrong! Super little wheel!! I love it! :)
And this yummy batt came in the mail today from Beth at Blue Mountain Handcrafts, along with a cute crochet hook case. I needed some more yarn that would go with my Narcissus yarn (a batt I spun last year from BMH) & Beth was kind enough to indulge me.
