The solution? Get a bigger spinning wheel, of course!
I knew that the EEW 6.1 was coming out in May (and the previous model was sold out), and had 6 oz bobbins (perfect!), so I bid my time until they were in stock. It was still several weeks before I could try it out, but now I'm spinning away!
I'm VERY happy with the EEW 6.1. The Nano 2 was fine for learning, but it was finicky to get the tension right on, and for dealing with thicker yarns. The 6.1 is much easier to deal with, and has a great foot-activated switch too!
After a quick test spinning single ply to get a feel for things, I was ready to tackle my first triple ply. Results are maybe a little uneven in spin (my fault, not the spinner), but I hope it evens out in follow-up processing. So far I'm quite pleased!
