SPARE TIME.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —In the absence of any reply having been given to ’‘Spare Time” in your columns of the 10th inst., perhaps a few hints may help. Wool cen bo spun by hand with a spindle, home made, or bought, price 9d. Greasy or unwashed wool is the easier for a beginner. The primary thread is spun one way, and finally the two or more threads are spun together on the same instrument but twisted in the opposite way. Spindle spinning requires a lot of time to make any quantity of wool for garments, but a spinning wheel would be more satisfactory, but the price is prohibitive. It would not be beyond anyone mechanically inclined with a few tools to make the parts of a spinning wheel, using in place of the wheel a bicycle wheel or a sewing machine. If “Spare Time” would like any further information I should be pleased to give her al'i I can. At her request the Editor would no doubt kindly put us into communication. —Yours etc., SPINSTER. Havelock North, 15/6/32.
