The starting material must be a variety of colors, types, and
preparations such as ginned, carded, combed sliver or punis.
In this section, the biggest problem
seemed to be that both examiner's considered boiling cotton for any
other reason than to increase color to be unnecessary. Ok,
but........they should have seen what the water looked like in those
pots!
Cotton isn't my favorite spinning fiber so
I fully admit these yarns are not perfect. However, there were a
couple of skeins in my COE where the judges opinions and scoring
were divergent. So some of these are really bad or better than
average.
