Things knitted from coarse homemade yarn are in fashion, therefore, electric spinning wheels are popular with needlewomen. Thanks to it, you can get yarn from synthetic fibers, wool and fluff.
Electric spinning wheel to help needlewomen
A household electric spinning wheel is a simple technique, and it is easy to learn how to use it. Working on it does not require significant physical effort. Each electric spinning wheel has a speed switch, beginners can learn to spin at a low speed.
Russian manufacturers offer several models of electric spinning wheels. The principle of their operation is similar, but there are slight design differences. The household electric spinning wheel is a compact machine, the basis of which is the twisting and winding mechanism. It consists of a body and a spool on which the thread is wound and an electric motor with a tensioner. There are handles for starting the engine and shifting speeds.
The spinning wheel is easy to use, does not require special training, you can master the basics of spinning in a short time. An instruction manual is attached to it. Before work, you need to study it well and follow all the recommendations, and then the device will serve for more than one year.
Uncomplicated yarn production process
Before starting spinning, the raw materials must be prepared. The wool of animals (sheep, goats, dogs) must be carefully combed in one direction until the wool becomes light, airy. For this there are special "cheski" - a board with stuffed carnations, a kind of massage comb. Raw materials prepared in this way can be rolled up and stored in a bag.
Before starting work, the spinning wheel is installed on a flat surface (table), connected to the network and the operation of the drive is checked. They are conveniently located on a chair, the spinning wheel should be at belt level. A prepared tow is placed under the left hand, a lobe of fiber is applied to the thread pulled from the thread wire. With the right hand, the thread is pulled out of the tow, twisted and directed to the reel. Rotating, the reel pulls the thread, winds it onto the spool.
To make the yarn coarse, without knots, the spinning wheel must work at low speeds. The thread thickness is manually adjustable. As the threads accumulate on the reel, they are thrown onto the spool and continue to work. When the spool is completely filled (about 200 g), the threads are wound from it into a ball.
Safety precautions must be followed when operating the electric spinning wheel to avoid injury or electric shock. To prevent the device from overheating, it is recommended to turn it off every hour. Be sure to reverse the spool rotation when twisting the threads.
