Response to Any spinners out there?

Mohair is what I've got, and so mohair is what I am using. I have only one sheep, so I am saving his wool for when I know what I am doing. Then I will card it with mohair to get a mix. 100% mohair has poor memory, and will stretch out of shape if you use it to make hats and things. I tried all of your suggestions, (and thanks to Sheepish for what you said) and the news for today is: I can now produce poor quality yarn relatively quickly. I take this as a step in the right direction. It seems more consistent, and definitely less bulky. I am treadling slower, and the motions of drawing and pinching are more coordinated now. So, I see hope!
