Workshop Info

Spinning from the fold is helpful for adding a bit of loft to lengthy fibers. It also helps with maintaining a consistent draft when slippery fibers are part of a blend. This technique can be performed in many ways, which is a great advantage to the spinner. In this session, you'll learn how to spin from the fold and how to make minor adjustments for the yarn you desire.
