Spinning 101
Spinning 101: Step by Step from Fleece to Yarn with Wheel or Spindle | Tom Knisely
6 posts | 1 read
Welcome to Tom’s beginner spinning class! Come on in and he will teach you everything you need to know to turn raw wool into your first hand spun yarn. Tom has been teaching introductory spinning for over 30 years, and in this book, he shares all of this knowledge in his easy-to-understand manner, illustrated with photographs to guide you through each of the steps. From how to choose a spinning wheel and how to set it up and keep it running smoothly; to how to select and prepare your fiber; how to spin your first yarn, and the various options for how to do so; to plying and finishing—Tom explains it all in simple terms and with helpful visuals. Because Tom has taught so many classes of spinners, he knows all the common pitfalls and addresses them with his troubleshooting tips. At its essence, yarn is fiber with twist added to keep it together, and Tom keeps the whole process as simple as that. You will soon be whirring away, spinning yards and yards of glorious yarn!

Mehso-so

A very basic introduction to fleece and spinning. “101“ is accurate.

While the title panel isn't quite right, I reckon “Bluing“ is there in the jeans/shirt, don't you? #Pantone2023 @clwojick

And since it's February already just across the pond, I'm also gonna nab this one for #WickedWords @AsYouWish #Single - singles are lengths of yarn that aren't plied!

AsYouWish Very creative!!! I love it!!!💙💙💙 2y
Clwojick Great job! 2y
