Description
This article details a project in which the author spins the same yarn across a variety of Turkish spindles, ranging from 3.28g to 41g, to explore how different sizes and weights affect spinning consistency. The project, called “Spin on All the Things,” involves spinning identical yarns on each spindle, checking for consistency, and then plying the results into one skein. The author reflects on how the challenge improved their spinning skills and deepened their understanding of their tools, resulting in more consistent yarn despite the varying spindle sizes.
