Experiment Observations Continued

First Ounce

4. Upon commenting on my first "Experiment" post, my word verification was "dorkgodo", which I parsed as "dork go do".
5. Consumption of roving appears to be much faster as the end of the strip nears. This could be due to a visual illusion, increased experience of the spinner, or even possibly increased weight of the spindle. However, this experiment is not sufficiently controlled to determine the true cause.
6. Approximately one ounce of singles on the spindle does indeed take considerably less room than approximately one ounce of the fluffed up roving. Comparison of the final yarn volume will have to wait until the final three ounces have been spun.
7. "Instant gratification" is not a good description of handspindling, although the process is fascinating.
8. Inattention leads to occasional spinning of the spindle the wrong way.
9. Carelessness causes the yarn to come unhooked from the little hook.
10. Occurances of #8 and #9 produce a soundtrack from the spinner.
11. Said soundtrack (#10) initially caused alarm in the native, but the native quickly became accustomed to the new sounds in his environment.
