When you split strips off of the batt to feed it back in made sure you draft those out and make that thin like you did for the first bit of locks. It will feed through and not get stuck on the licker in. Also, don't pull on your fiber you're feeding in, that can make it stick to the licker in too. The fiber looks beautiful!

I find it best to add the sari silk directly to the drum as it sticks to the licker in.

I have the same club and I’ll tell you everything I learned from Rachel (woolnspinning)! It was a huge learning process for me too doing mine. 1. I have the same carder and honestly find splitting in 3, so like 40g or less for each batt, works best. She also has this carder and doesn’t do more than 40g in a batt. 2. When you’re feeding in, don’t pull back on the fibre, that makes more stick to your licker. 3. The biggest tip - you have to sandwich the sari silk between a thin bottom layer and thin top layer of wool when you feed in, that’s the only way it won’t mostly stick to your licker, so basically make the sandwich THEN feed it in. 4. Do up your 3 batts with the 5 or so passes but then take them all, split each into 3 strips, and mix up so each batt has a 1/3 of each original batt, that’s how you’ll make your 115g the most uniform if you’re using in the same yarn!

I’m a member of Guts too but the Chaotic club.💖 One thing you may want to try is carding all one type of wool and then combining the two on the second pass along with the silk. I tend to do 3 total passes.

In addition, you may want to measure your high bust, and see if you should make your increases closer to the actual bustline, rather than across the shoulders, where you may not need the larger size yet.
@jilliankonig275914 күн бұрын
You can also look at the pattern and see how many stitches there are at the bust, and divide that by the gauge you're getting. That will tell you how wide the bust will be at your gauge. Or you can take your gauge of 17.5"/4" or 4.375, and multiply it by the bust circumference you want (48-52) and see that you will need 210- 228 stitches at the bust, and see which size has that number of stitches at the bust.
