Wool n' Spinning Radio

CoreSpin Along

Episode Summary

I have something special to share with you this month! As part of our conversation in August, Crystal and I talked about bringing the community together with a textured-yarn spin-along to finish the year. Share your photos, your favourite corespun projects you've made and just HAVE FUN! Let's make a bunch of corespun yarn to celebrate all things textured yarns! Use the tag #corespinalong for sharing your projects.

Episode Notes

“Corespinning creates an amazing yarn that can replace a conventional spun yarn.“ -Crystal Hesser

To share your spinning, we have a couple of places to share:

Slack Channel: #texturedyarn

Ravelry Group: CoreSpin Along here

We have talked about corespinning in the community previously:

Tips to Get Started:

  1. Don’t give up
  2. Good, strong core
  3. Add twist to the core prior to starting
  4. Even tension so that the core is being moved onto the bobbin steadily (this keeps the twist from building up beforehand)
  5. Steam to finish
  6. Have FUN!

I hope you enjoy this ALONG with us - even if you just spin a little bit to give the technique a try, I encourage you to do so!

Warmly,

Rachel
