So you’ve gotten the hang of spinning yarn, but what’s next? Let’s turn it up a notch and go beyond the basics of simply creating yarn. We will begin by using tools that will help with project planning and record keeping. In this class, you will learn how to accurately count yardage manually, measure grist, angle of twist, and how to make repeatable skeins.
