From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm from the Seattle area and work in tech, specifically video games and technology research. I stopped working full time in 2022 and am taking some time to do consulting work and figure out what to do next. The subjects I know the most about personally are fiber arts, video games, and human-computer interaction, but I also love editing for readability and clarity.

- 19:15, 14 January 2024 diff hist  +250‎  Spinning wheel ‎ →‎Types: added citation for fiber preparation and rewrote that paragraph, since the original was very unclear and lacked a citation.
- 19:05, 14 January 2024 diff hist  +249‎  Spinning wheel ‎ →‎Great wheel: added citation for mechanics of a great wheel. Turns out I found the same article cited in the previous paragraph.
- 18:53, 14 January 2024 diff hist  +174‎  Spinning wheel ‎ →‎Treadle wheel: added citation for single vs double treadle considerations, slight clarity edit and added that ergonomics is a consideration

- 18:37, 14 January 2024 diff hist  +193‎  Spinning wheel ‎ →‎Upright style: Added citation for Irish Castle wheel, slight readability edits
- 18:33, 14 January 2024 diff hist  +440‎  Spinning wheel ‎ →‎Double drive: Added a citation for materials a drive bad is made of. Added some clarification to the spinning mechanics: the yarn doesn't continually wind on, but similar to single-drive setup there is slippage while the yarn is held in tension and wind-on when the tension is let up.
- 18:27, 14 January 2024 diff hist  −442‎  Spinning wheel ‎ →‎Single drive: Added information on Scotch vs. Irish tension, removed two 'citation needed' graphs and added information that is backed up by the Schacht page to cover brake band drag.
