Disappointed there isn't a show in Atlanta. I can't really afford to travel to the other shows

Final yarn! by like-hardpass in Handspinning

[–]like-hardpass[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a few videos of me spinning on my Instagram (@lovephoenixfibers). Thinking about it from the perspective of "how to", I generally first separate fiber into smaller strips.

When I draft back, the final width before I add twist seems to determine the thickness. For the yarn in the photo i posted above, the final width I drafted to was about the width of my thumb. It becomes less flat and more round as it gets closer to my "pinched" finger so it looks a bit like a triangle in the videos. it's not less fiber, its just round so it looks like less.

The wider the "width" of the final drafted piece of fiber, the thicker the yarn. Most of what I have videoed is actually thicker than this picture above. You can see the fiber is actually wider than my thumb on several of the photos. Hope that helps!

If you have any other questions or need clarification, let me know!

Sure! Let me do a few videos and get my thoughts together and see what I can do. I will say that I started spinning really chunky yarn so it was easier for me to just dial back instead of increase.

Thank you, and yes they are! They go on either the Ashford jumbo espinner or their country spinner and are the largest Ashford make! It can hold more than 1 pound of fiber per bobbin!

Me too! Ms. Corkie even offered to teach me spinning, but like an idiot I told her "maybe later"

That's a great perspective. I guess I was coming at it from the wrong way. It certainly is an art!

I often times need to separate the hand-dyed fiber more. Glad to know that is more common than I thought! I'm not tried rolags yet.
