* trial today: at the end of the hour I was happy to sit down or walk around or.... so it is possible to stand and spin but normally I would have had a break before.

** set in motion about three times to make a length of yarn my height - but by using it to build up twist and drafting with a modified longdraw, it was easy to fall into a rhythm.

*** helpful factor.

#4 spindle. The fluffy yarn, on the other hand, was a joy to spin. (And yes - it was a modified longdraw.)

#5 park some of these too.
