- Description
The ability to create consistent yarns is an exceptionally useful skill as a spinner. Why? Because consistent yarns look cohesive in a finished garment (because they do not vary). They wear more evenly in a project and don’t allow weak spots to be created. They also ensure that all parts of the piece you are knitting or weaving behave the same so you do not have areas of incorrect gauge or sett. This article includes consistency by calculation and feel, prep, spinning the yarn you want, spinning the yarn you want again and again, and finishing.
