I like the idea, but I cannot do it.
When I spin in public, I slow down and my grist goes all over the place. At Lambtown, I spun for HOURS and produced a grand total of 350 yards of single, some of which was thin and some of which was fat, and all of which was poor quality. Intended grist for the day was ~9,000 ypp, actual average grist was less than 5,400. OK, there was poor light where I was sitting and other factors, but a week later in a spinning group, with the same intended grist, my actual grist was less than 8,000 ypp.
My hat is off to the folks that can spin their intended grist in public. I have given up trying to spin project quality singles in public. In the future, I will take some of that Blue Romney that I have, and not worry about what I am actually spinning.
