# START SPINNING - by Maggie Casey ## Everything You Need to Know to Make Great Yarn This book came with the Ashford Traditional wheel I bought from eBay. It was also a recommended book on Goodreads for first time spinners. - Spinning is balancing between twist and draft - Spinning happens in the "triangle" - Start with the tension loose and slowly tighten until it grabs - Wool is the easiest fiber to start with - If you have difficulty drafting: - You may need hands further apart (length of fiber) - You may have twist on the fiber (untwist) |
