Input needed by Naomah[_2_]

fuzziness by myswendy
Hi all, Don't mean to monopolize everything, but have one more quick question for now--What exactly makes some yarns end up looking fuzzy when the job is completed? Not with pills, just all fuzzy. What kinds of yarn do NOT create this effect? I plan to shave off the pills with a razor blade or...

Honest question here by myswendy
Hi everyone, I have been wondering about this for quite a while--I know many, many folks love to make dishcloths, washcloths, etc, and many say it's habit-forming. My question is really two-fold: Why would anyone want to make something that will purposely be made dirty? And secondly, do they work?...

Ball winder troubleshooting by myswendy
Hi guys, I'm having trouble with a borrowed ball winder. It makes a racheting noise from inside. I know that can't be good, but I can't see inside there to figure out if there is anything I can do about it. I sprayed some silicone spray in there, hoping it would do some good.
