YST Episode 189 Spinning cotton and picking wool
<p>In this podcast, I talk about what I learned about cotton and spinning cotton in a class at SAFF this year. I also had the chance to do some fiber and fleece shopping, and talk about that experience.</p> <p>I mentioned that I would list the four currently grown species of cotton plants and their details.</p> <p>Gossypium hirsutum Known as upland cotton and native to Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean and Southern Florida. This species accounts for 90% of commercial cotton grown.</p> <p>Gossypium barbadense Known as extra-long staple cotton, and is native to South America. This species accounts for 8% of all cotton grown.</p> <p>Gossypium arboreum Known as tree cotton, it is native to India and Pakistan. This species accounts for 2% of all commercial cotton grown.</p> <p>Gossypium herbacaum Known as Levant cotton this species is native to Africa and the Arabian Peninsula and is the last percentage of the cotton grown world wide.</p> <p>Extra long staple cotton requires special ginning, known as roller gins. This type cotton can only be grown in a few places in the world, because it requires a long season and will not tolerate rain before harvest. Currently California and Arizona are the two US areas growing this cotton.</p>

YST Episode 187 The big wash up
<p>After I spin a skein of yarn, it needs to be washed. I put this off until I have enough to take several days of washing. </p> <p>I also talk about doing a burn test on fiber to determine the fiber content. One was a very big surprise! The flow chart I was using for this burn test can be found <a href= "http://www.ditzyprints.com/dpburnchart.html">here.</a></p> <p>My pack of luxury fibers contained white angora and it is shown on the Nano spinning wheel in the photo with this podcast. The pack of fibers came from <a href= "https://www.etsy.com/shop/sericin">Sericin Silk</a> Etsy store.</p>
