Description
Does long draw feel like it’s just beyond your reach? This article should help. It’s not about a particular way of spinning longdraw. It’s not specific to point of contact, assisted, unassisted, from the fold, double draft, etc. It’s about making the leap from spinning with no twist between your hands to letting twist in there. It’s about getting comfortable letting go. Once you get the basics, delve into and fine-tune your longdraw; figure out the differences between the various techniques, and make choices about which and why. This, however, is not that. This is Step One. This is about going from your comfort zone (worsted) to the unknown (woolen).
