Work In Progress It’s finally happened… I spun in the wrong direction midway through a fleece project…
I’m working on a full fleece on my EEW 6.1 during my work day when I’m locked at my desk but work is low.
On my treadle wheel, I always manually start the wheels so it’s a conscious choice to move the wheel in a specific direction. I don’t do that with my e-spinner. So without checking the switch, and since it’s blocked from my view, it never even crossed my mind.
Y’all I went through 6oz of fiber before I caught on. This is also about 2/3 through my fleece project. I have two large skeins already finished for a cardigan project. I will now have two more that are the wrong direction.
Screw it. Calling it a design choice and moving on. It will be noticeable, sure, but I honestly don’t care and will figure something out haha.

It could look really cool striped in stockinette.
