Workshop: The Right Twist

How much twist does a yarn need? It depends! Master Spinner Michelle Boyd will lead us through an exploration of the twist we need to make the best of our chosen fibres and the decisions we can make before we start to spin a yarn for any end use. We will make three samples with differences in both singles and ply twists to lay the foundation for intermediate to experienced spinners to continue sampling to find exactly the right twist for the yarn they want to make.

Prerequisites: Participants must be able to spin a single and ply a two-ply yarn.
