Description: In order to create something new, to move our craft forward, to go forth and conquer, we need to grasp the courage to break free of our bonds of convention! Rules are made to be broken, and spinning rules are no exception. There is an understood law that the long draw is often considered a method most appropriate for short-stapled wool. But I ask, “why?” OK, so in reality, there are good reasons, but should we just accept the rules and never experiment for ourselves? I say no! No more taking it for granted that “they” know best about how we should spin our wool! No more shunning the glorious longwools when we sit down to spin a woolen yarn! It’s time to rebel! This article embraces that rebellion and takes you along as the author finds the best way to spin longer fibers woolen.
