Tips for spinning bulky weight yarn on a smaller bobbin ( spinolution Pollywog)

Jun 5

Since I'm a dealer for Spinolution spinning wheels I've been talking to lots of people with questions about spinning. One question or concern I keep hearing about one of my favorites, the pollywog, is that it would be hard to get a decent amount of bulky weight yarn on the 4 oz bobbin. I also had this concern when I first got it so I'm happy to pass on some tips that fixed this problem for me.

Here is a video I recorded showing how to get around 4 oz of bulky weight 2 ply on the smaller sized bobbins that come on the pollywog. Of course getting the accelartor and the 12 oz upgrade would give you greater flexibility but I hope this helps you to feel like you could do most general spinning with out having to get anything extra.
