Description
Experienced spinners know we always have to finish our yarn. Giving our yarn a warm, soapy bath helps remove spinning oils and impurities from the yarn and allows the fibres to relax and absorb the active twist in both our singles and our plies. But finishing does something else, too. It allows our yarns to bloom. This article discusses fiber, twist, and finishing for bloom.
