I used a double-drive Traveller on the little drive wheel with the drive band tension turned way down. I draft from the cloud in a very slow long draw and just use my right hand to pull off little fluff rings that tend to form around the single. Otherwise it's all one handed. I bought it clean and de-haired already in cloud form-- I am a de-hairing wimp :) Don’t be humbled Fiberjoy, your cashmere yarn is beautiful and totally covetable.

Your cashmere is so uniform and fine! What's your secret? How was it processed? I'm assuming you used a wheel for the spinning. Do you have a cashmere goat? Since the Charollais arrived I haven't spun any more Cashmere, I need to dehair some first. I haven't felt like tackling that job what with the Charollais and still spindling BFL to weave a baby blanket (I'm beginning to question my sanity on that one). Reading your post made me grateful that Ed doesn't give a hoot about taking pictures. It's the little things that rub hard on a marriage. My son keeps finding great camera deals on Craig's List, you might try looking there to get yourself one. Tell Matt you need it to keep the peace. :-) Wendy, I’m humbled.
