Another thought--it is hard to tell from the photos, but the homemade hackle's "pins" may be further apart than you want. It seems like when they are closer together, that they serve to allow the longer fibers to be pulled through the diz, while the shorter ones stay behind. And we all know what we get when we end up spinning long and short fibers together...nubby yarn. Which is fine, if that's what you were going for, but a huge frustration if it was not. Of course, you'd need TWO homemade hackles so you could comb the fibre with one hackle turned at a right angle to the other, before pulling the fibers through your diz. Take a look in your button box and see if you can find a large button with a somewhat smaller hole :>) Happy spinning!Moonstruck's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399687701912939190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30040441.post-5251857897948397832010-06-19T00:26:47.034-05:002010-06-19T00:26:47.034-05:00This looks so interesting!! and a great way to use...This looks so interesting!! and a great way to use some of the fiber I have as well as add angora to it..how simple in concept, although I am sure it takes time to master..Thanks for the treat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30040441.post-23158243340452724422010-06-17T07:13:44.511-05:002010-06-17T07:13:44.511-05:00I love it!
