Week 8 (Test hank from the spinnery)


Weaver's log, Earthdate 07102013 
The weeks feel like they fly by as I once again have spent the day in my tower room carding wool. At least that is what it's starting to feel like, a dark room in a tower and am the traped princes. Right before the writing of this entry, I read a mail from the spinnery, that said ¨we have started some test spinning and are ready to start production tomorrow, if you send us your address we can send you a test so you can say what you think¨. So now I just have to wait until she reads my replay tomorrow.

Today I got a real surprise as I walked into the cafeteria for my afternoon coffee and gleaned on the information whiteboard, it said that I had a package. Apparently, my contact sent the yarn to my teacher on Friday so I would get it fast. My Teacher and I had a meeting discussing the sample and came to the agreement that it was too loosely spun and to thin, and mailed the spinnery to tell them to do the adjustment.

The mail I got on Monday also told me that I needed to replace 20kg of wool. So today's thoughts have surrounded the Issue of where ever I should buy the warp from a retailer or let the spinnery spin it for me, this issue has eluded me ever sins I got the mail but now I feel I really need to get to a final decision. I couldn't decide on my own so I managed to get a meeting after school with my teacher. After a long and thought-full discussion, I came to the conclusion. That I should buy it from the retailer as even if I ordered the spinnery to spin it, it wouldn't get as sturdy as the sail sample I have been working after, as its warp is spun off the cover hairs and Gotlands sheep don't have the same cover hairs as the old Scandinavian sheep do.

The mission for the day was to call the retailer called Hedängens ull och garn. As I hate phones I were a little scared but the call went fine, the owner was really easy to talk to and she said she would ship it today.

Today am going home to my mom and brother over the weekend so not much work. Spun three bobbins, hang them up to even the twist and hade a class meeting.
