However, give it a quick test and see how it performs for you!<br /><br />RSTRosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13919009138145168313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19167514.post-57382132115143169192011-05-17T18:51:49.570-06:002011-05-17T18:51:49.570-06:00do p-rolags allow as much air into the singles as ...do p-rolags allow as much air into the singles as regular carded rolags?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19167514.post-38569886415131100062011-05-08T22:23:26.224-06:002011-05-08T22:23:26.224-06:00Hello Lynn d,

When you spin does the top end of Prolag start and then whatever keeps pulling from the Prolag?<br />Can you wear cotwold against skin or is it to sturdy?<br />Thanks<br />Lynn dlynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056688708275941877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19167514.post-39723476313536706382011-04-03T10:34:40.242-06:002011-04-03T10:34:40.242-06:00veganprimate - come on over!

I love simplicity.<br /><br />knittermobile, I've been itching to post these photos since you and I first started playing with P-rolags. I'll look for the photos of the locks. I still have the samples around here somewhere. <br /><br />fleegle, yes, sparkley is always better! I finally broke down and bought some carders, and you know what? I don't like them. It's Pseudorolags for me - whether using locks or top or anything in between, p-rolags work just great with little fuss. I'm glad you like it. I've so enjoyed YOUR blog all of these years, it thrills me to be able to give a little something back. <br /><br />Kicking THAT CAT off of the fiber is the hardest part of spinning. She's tenacious, and she loves her fiber, especially coopworth.
