# START SPINNING - by Maggie Casey | |
## Everything You Need to Know to Make Great Yarn | |
This book came with the Ashford Traditional wheel I bought from eBay. It | |
was also a recommended book on Goodreads for first time spinners. | |
- Spinning is balancing between twist and draft | |
- Spinning happens in the "triangle" | |
- Start with the tension loose and slowly tighten until it grabs | |
- Wool is the easiest fiber to start with | |
- If you have difficulty drafting: | |
- You may need hands further apart (length of fiber) | |
- You may have twist on the fiber (untwist) |
