Today I write an essay on Substack: Rhythm and wool<\/a>, where I reflect over spinning and being in the making as tools to cope with illness. This essay comes with a spinning video I think you’ll love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s not much I can do when I get a migraine, everything hurts in one way or another. But I can spin, and do. Being in the wool and in the making soothes and keeps me reasonably balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Six treadles to charge the rolag with twist, stretching my arm to allow the twist to consume the rolag while I count to another twelve treadles to add twist, then rolling the fresh yarn through the eye of the orifice. For every repeat a pattern is defined \u2013 seven peaks creating a perfect sinus wave on the bobbin. This is what I can do when my body decides to fall into an episode, when it fails to trust my ability to keep a balanced lifestyle. The window is small, it appears.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
