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 bobbin-led, single drive wheel. She talks about setting up your wheel, getting comfortable with your fiber, and getting the right uptake/tension with this greedier drive system. She also shows you up close and clearly how the bobbin-led system works, how the bobbin leads the show and the flyer follows and how the yarn winds on. There’s pulley/whorl talk, twist talk, brake talk, staple length talk, fiber stripping talk, and cross-lacing for decreasing uptake as Jacey spins a worsted-style yarn using a short backward draft.
