- Description
- Spinning from the fold is an efficient method for converting worsted prep, like combed top, into a woolen-style yarn, making it easier to spin on a supported spindle. This technique involves pulling small amounts of fiber, folding it, and using a support spindle to introduce twist while maintaining fiber alignment and achieving a lighter, airier yarn. Key tips include managing fiber quantity, avoiding excessive amounts for tidier spinning, and mastering the joining process for smooth transitions.
