Spinning Pen shell hairs
A couple of years ago someone posted an article on the myths of a goddess spinning the golden hairs of the pen shell and there was a spinner who was doing it and had posted quite a lot of information.

Gilmore back beam spontaneously unwinding
Louise, you might consider putting a spring on the ratchet assembly (known as a dog and paw or pawl). If the paw isnt heavy enough or if the action of beating jiggles it loose, that may be your issue.
