Spinning singles is a fast, efficient way to produce yarns that preserve the color and texture of the preparation (such as carded batts). In this workshop you will learn how to adjust your wheel and drafting methods to achieve twist and diameter consistency. We will cover choosing fibers and preparations, spinning from the lock and finishing your yarns.
