Description: This article experiments with spinning yarns that will be felted in the final project to create extra warmth. It starts with the premise that thicker yarn will create warmer fabric but questions how much twist will make the warmest yarn. By using Merino, CVM, and a blend of Romeldale/llama, the author spins all yarn to the same size adjusting amount of twist and three drafting styles. She knits, felts, and felts and brushes sample swatches and tests their heat retention by using freezer packs and a heating pad.
