Description
You don’t have to know everything to make a yarn! Use what you already know and make a yarn with Jacey using a flyer-led wheel. She talks with setting up your wheel, getting comfortable with your fiber, and getting the right uptake/tension. She also shows you up close and clearly how the flyer-led system works, how the flyer leads the show and the bobbin follows and then stalls to let the yarn wind on. There’s pulley/whorl talk, twist talk, tension talk, and plyback test as Jacey spins a worsted yarn. If you’ve ever found the technicalities of how scotch tension works, this will help!
