Description
The messy cop technique allows for quick, informal winding of yarn on a spindle, ideal for busy spinners or those who prefer a less meticulous approach. Using a paper quill or tube to keep the yarn centered, the method focuses on wrapping the yarn quickly and without concern for perfect alignment, resulting in a functional center-pull ball. This technique is flexible, portable, and helps prevent tangling, making it easier to spin in short, interrupted sessions, while still producing usable yarn for later plying.
