Description
This article is written by a spinner that has never once spun on a traditional spinning wheel with treadles.She’s sharing her favourite spinning methods on an e-spinner to create thick and low-twist yarns. These types of yarns are wonderful to incorporate into your fibre art as they are quick to weave up due to their thickness and they create beautiful texture as well. The article covers fiber choice, drafting, getting thicker, joining and finishing the yarn.
