The first attempt went wrong immediately I started reeling - I hadn't realised the edge of my pan wasn't totally smooth and ALL of the threads snapped! I then spent ages getting back the ends after moving them to a smooth roll-rimmed pan. I started off with 20 ends which quickly dwindled to 7 or 8; obviously hadn't found the "one true end"! Then, when I finished reeling I lost the end on my skein winder and couldn't wind it off! Disaster from start to finish. The second attempt wasn't much better. BUT, I'm sure I can use that silk for something!goldiloxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770495557282483217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187034728413996907.post-44148336155543439782018-03-05T23:42:33.891+01:002018-03-05T23:42:33.891+01:00It makes me so happy to see you try reeling... and...It makes me so happy to see you try reeling... and I'm so sorry you had a frustrating experience.
