I am a beginner at hand spinning and would like to start spinning my own yarnI will be using a drop spindle for this,btwIf anyone knows what the best type of fiber to use for beginning to spin, please let me know.
If you think about it, why did you insulate the attic in the first placeWould it be to stop heat escaping during the cold weatherWell it works the same in the summer, the house started warm and you have fitted insulation which will slow down the heat escape so you will have to wait for the aircon to do its job if its big enough but when it is under control it will make a big difference.
The insulation acts a barrier for heat and coldThe better your house is insulated, the better it is for winter heating and summer cooling costsBy insulating your house, you can recoup those losses in a matter of a few yearsI highly recommend you insulate your house.
Most heat is transferred trough the ceiling, so insulating it is always the priority, but its impossible to give you numbers for temperatureAdding cellulose insulation in your attic is easy, you can do it yourselfTypically if you buy more than 20 bags of cellulose from HD or Lowes they rent you the insulation blower machine free of chargeJust make sure you don't cover your sofit vents with insulationSince your house is old, you may want to ensure it has proper ventilation since this is very important for energy efficiencyYour walls can be insulated, although its not funI had an old house like this where we removed a row of vinyl siding from the entire perimeter of the house, drilled 2.5 houses into each stud bay, pumped in cellulose in then filled the holes with spray foam and put the siding back on.
Adding insulation in just the attic will help tremendouslyMost of your heat rises and goes through the roof, costing you a lot of money if you live in a cold weather climate, it also helps to keep heat in the attic during hot weatherFor the best protection you should insulate your attic, crawl space, and you can have insulation blown into your walls
Wool is the only thing that worksYou need to call around and get wool rovingsThey come already dyed and cardedReady for spinning.
