Description
When we think of warm yarns, we often think of woolen-spun yarns; however, you can make worsted-spun yarns with warmth qualities. This article looks at the choices you can make in your worsted-spun yarns to create warmth, from fiber selection and preparation to how to draft with a worsted technique that will impart the most warmth (space between fibers). Photos provide specific examples of yarns and knit swatches.
