Adapt the speed of foot and hand working to get a good twist of the
thread.
Too little twist
Braking the bobbin
The strength with which the yarn
is pulled in can be regulated by
turning the screw (5).
Too much twist
Correct twist
Plying (joining two or more yarns together):
It is easy to ply two threads to one thicker yarn if you place two full
bobbins on the special bobbin holder. Take care that the threads lie
parallel in your hands before plying.
What can go wrong?
The yarn is too hard and overtwisted. Possible causes:
-
You are treadling too fast, compared with the speed of your hands.
-
The yarn pulls in too slowly. You must brake the bobbin a bit more.
Or maybe the yarn is obstructed by a piece of straw.
-
The yarn is caught on one of the yarn guiders.
-
The bobbin is full.
The yarn breaks constantly. Possible causes:
-
Too little twist, the yarn is not strong enough for winding up.
-
The yarn pulls in too hard. The tension is too great. Reduce tension
with the knurled nut.
-
Wool of bad quality (too short fibre).
Treadling is very heavy. Possible causes:
-
More brake on the bobbin than you need.
-
The yarn is obstructed by one of the hooks on the flyer.
-
The bobbin is full.
The fibres are difficult to draw out of the wool supply. Possible causes:
-
You are holding the wool supply too tightly.
-
The twisting got in your wool supply. Take care that the twist does
not come behind your right hand. Keep thumb and finger closed.
-
Wool of bad quality (felted, needs combing)
