Start Spinning: Everything You Need to Know to Make Great Yarn Ebook START SPINNING: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO MAKE GREAT YARN PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Maggie Casey | 120 pages | 01 Apr 2008 | Interweave Press Inc | 9781596680654 | English | Loveland, CO, United States Start Spinning: Everything You Need to Know to Make Great Yarn PDF Book To make two-ply yarn, take two singles strands or both ends of the same strand , attach them both to your spindle, and twist them around each other in the opposite direction from how you originally spun them. When you spin, you put twist into fibres so that they hold together to form a continuous thread. Navajo Plying - Making a three-ply yarn 8. Designed to appeal to the beginning spinner, tips and hints are provided that illustrate how easy, enjoyable, and relaxing spinning can be. When I was in Kenya, women spun Romney wool chiefly "in the grease," but it often locked in large amounts of dirt in the process. Spin spin spin! Covers fiber characteristics, preparation and spinning, choosing a wheel, and crafting the finished yarn into useful and attractive pieces. I Made It! Leave the original loop of fiber anchored on the spindle hook. Description If you are a knitter or crocheter looking to take the step from just using manufactured yarn to making your own this is a great book to get you started. A bunch of loose fibers will fall apart if you pull on their ends. Launching a Patreon! First and foremost, you want a balanced drop spindle that spins true. Either one will do just fine to learn on. It is also much easier to learn to spin wool than silk, or cotton and other vegetable fibres. Your fibre will either feed into the bobbin too fast and keep breaking or it will not feed fast enough and end up in a tangle of corkscrews, surrounded by swear words. Chapters: 1. Yarn by Design 9. This visual guide shows you the basics, beginning with the tools and fibers, and takes you through spinning, plying, making novelty yarns, using exotic fibers, dyeing, and more. A yarn made from two 2-plies twisted together is called a 4-strand cable and feels and reacts differently than a simple 4-ply yarn when it is worked into cloth. Socks are small, so you'll get them done! Step by step instructions and gorgeous color photographs will take you on a new journey of creativity. The perfect how-to book for any spinner with a growing collection of spindles or even just a dowel, Respect the Spindle includes:. Just by adding twist, you can create yarn that is sturdy enough to be knitted or woven into fabric. Do not despair; the internet is a wonderful resource. You can find roving at your friendly local yarn store, or from several online retailers. Related Content. Along with how-to instructions for collecting, carding, spinning, and knitting, you'll find a list of shops which carry the equipment and supplies you'll need. Bring the leader around the edge of the whorl many spindles have a handy notch in the edge for this purpose and under the hook at the top of the spindle shaft. The real Name of the Creator is Hayah asher Hayah. Jacquard YouCan. This booklet will teach you to spin silk. Virtually every kind of loom, from inexpensive primitive looms to more conventional treadle looms, is explained, some with building instructions. It's like having a support group, plus a teacher, in your spinning basket. Yarn holds together through twist alone. Starting to Spin Before you start to spin, it helps if you split your wool top into strips about the width of your finger. How do you ret flax? Since this is a single, and has a lot of active twist, you will also want to weigh it down it to help get the kinks out. Spindle: At it's simplest, a spindle is really just a stick with a weight on it somewhere aka a whorl. Hold the ball loosely in your dominant hand, pinch the paired singles just above the hook like you did when you were just getting started , and lightly spin the spindle counterclockwise. I don't want to buy carders, only to discover that the yarn in not altered. I didn't card or pre-draft, so the initial thread was rather lumpy. SpinOff has columns and articles for beginners.

When you feel confident with your spinning, you can try techniques such as chain-plying, which makes a 3-ply yarn with distinct sections of color. It's like having a support group, plus a teacher, in your spinning basket. Color photos and line drawings. Alternatively, if you happen to possess a yarn swift, you could stretch your hank on that to dry. It features detailed information on yarn diameter, plying, novelty yarn structures, and finishing. Paperbound, x 9, pages photographs, 5 illustrations. Once enough twist has built up, pinch the spindle shaft between your knees, then using your non-fiber hand, pinch the yarn right at your other finger, draft your fiber a little, then slide the other fingers up allowing the twist to travel up that fiber. If you spun the singles to the right Z-twist , then you'll need to spin your plied yarn to the left S-twist. With a little fiber and a spindle, you too can participate in this oldest of alchemies. After months of carding, spinning and knitting, a lovely knitted afghan is completed. You would be wise to chose medium length wool, as both long wools and short wools are more difficult to spin. Further, it goes well beyond simply providing instructions for spinning. Color harmonies are worked up in each medium. The other hand is the tensioning hand and is the one that keep everything in order. Learning how to ply yarn makes the finished plied yarn stronger, more stable, and more consistent. It explains how to make the tools, how to prepare, dye and blend the fibre, and finally how to spin a worsted yarn of controlled quality and specification. Tip: By creating a leader with a loop, instead of tying one end of the yarn to the shaft, you eliminate any possibility of unspinning your leader when you get started. Slub Yarn Soak your yarn in warm water and wool soap, then gently squeeze not wring out the extra water. A yarn made from two 2-plies twisted together is called a 4-strand cable and feels and reacts differently than a simple 4-ply yarn when it is worked into cloth. Look how the spindle keeps going for some time before the twist in the yarn fights back and slows it down. If so, what is the difference in function between 5x5 cm carders and 10x20 cm carders? White wool might be easier to spin than dyed wool, as dyeing can felt or compact the fibres slightly, a challenge you might not want when you are learning. Look for wool top or roving to begin with. If your fiber is in batt form, it is prudent to pull small sections off at a time to not have too much fiber in your hands as you spin. Once you have spun enough singles, the bobbins are then placed on a holding device such as a lazy kate for plying yarn. Yarn holds together through twist alone. Yarn by Design 9. When you have a length of yarn made, you will wind it onto the spindle. Paperback, 32 pgs, 20 color photos, 40 color illustrations. If you made a lot of yarn for example, many of my projects reach about yards in length , wrap it around something fairly large, such as a picture book or the back of a chair, to keep it neat. Spinning Wheels There is nothing more disheartening than using a decrepit spinning wheel that needs constant oiling and tension readjustment. SpinOff offers ideas, approaches and special projects. Their shafts will be sharpened at the bottom, and many come with a spindle bowl. Start Spinning: Everything You Need to Know to Make Great Yarn Reviews Leave a comment.

  • Current and Future Trends in Yarn Production1
    Volume 2, Issue 2, Spring 2002 CURRENT AND FUTURE TRENDS IN YARN PRODUCTION1 William Oxenham, Ph.D. College of Textiles, North Carolina State University ABSTRACT While developments in yarn manufacturing continue to be promoted by machinery makers, spinners are challenged to produce the best quality yarn at an acceptable price. This often results in a compromise, since improved yarn quality can usually only be achieved at a higher processing cost (including raw material selection). An additional difficulty is that the significance of the various attributes of quality change for different yarn’s end uses. While the solution to lowering yarn costs, that has been adopted in recent years has been to create large, almost fully automated spinning mills, this philosophy is presently being questioned, since this significantly reduces flexibility with respect to the fiber and yarn type that can be processed. This is obviously at odds with the current paradigm of customer driven, quick response manufacturing, since this demands inherent flexibility in the successful supplier. This paper reviews the current state of technological innovation in yarn production and examines the relative merits and disadvantages of each system. Some insight will also be given concerning those factors that limit further development of some of these systems. Historical trends in US yarn production have also been surveyed, and the combined information obtained is used as an indicator of the future directions in this key industry. KEYWORDS: Yarn Production, Spinning, Vortex Spinning, Centrifugal Spinning 1. INTRODUCTION shortcomings in certain aspects of yarn and fabric quality (Figure 2). This aspect Research into new technology for yarn cannot be over stressed since while ring formation peaked in the 60’s & 70’s.

  • 7. Wool Combing
    7. Wool Combing Errol Wood Learning objectives On completion of this topic you should be able to: • Outline the objectives of wool combing • Describe the design of a typical rectilinear comb • Explain the steps in rectilinear combing – feeding, initial combing, final combing and drawing off, and sliver formation • Discuss the means by which noils are removed, and the balance required in setting the amount to be removed • Explain the purpose of re-combing • Calculate: tear ratio, noil(%), romaine, regain and combing production • Discuss the factors that affect the combing quality of fine wools Key terms and concepts Combing (Nobel and rectilinear), nips per minute, doublings, noils, finisher gilling, packaging, re- combing, tear, noil(%), romaine, percent fibres less than 30 mm, combing production. Introduction to the topic Wool combing is a comprehensive term when used in its widest sense, and it embraces all the operations carried out in a topmaking plant. It includes the processes of raw wool scouring, drying, carding, backwashing and preparer gilling. Then follows the actual combing operation and the sequence of topmaking processes concludes with two gilling steps called top finishing (or finisher gilling). Combing is not included in the semiworsted or woollen processing routes. Wool combing, the single process, is indispensable in the manufacture of a worsted yarn. The card has disentangled the fibres in the mass of scoured wool and has mixed them in a roughly parallel formation. However, during the carding process many fibres will have been broken, and the card sliver will consist of a variety of fibre lengths. Some vegetable matter will have been removed but fragments remain.

    2-Day Pre-Festival Workshops Spinning 101: Learn to Spin or Refresh Your Skills with Maggie Casey Wednesday and Thursday, May 4 & 5, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., Howard County Farm Heritage Museum (across from the Howard County Fairgrounds) Spider Woman taught the Navajo to spin with spindles of lightning and turquoise. Gandhi encouraged the people of India to spin every day for meditation and economic freedom. Rumpelstiltskin spun straw into gold and Sleeping Beauty pricked her finger on her spindle and fell into a deep sleep. History and fable are full of tales of spinning and its effect on the people who do it. If you have always wanted to spin, have taught yourself a little, or haven’t spun for a while, this workshop will be just what you need to gain confidence and skill. We will start with a beautiful fleece, learn to card, spin, ply and set the twist. Then we will spin woolen and worsted yarns, some commercially prepared fibers and discuss wheel maintenance. Spinning straw into gold may be beyond our reach, but beautiful yarn is not! Skill level: Beginner. Students should bring: Working spinning wheel and all its parts, lazy kate and at least 3 bobbins, wool hand cards. JC01 Class fee: $200. Materials fee: $20. Fiber Preparation with Robin Russo Wednesday and Thursday, May 4 & 5, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., Bingo Hall Well prepared fibers spin easily into beautiful yarns. This class covers both drum-carding and combing of fine, medium and coarse wools; color blending; luxury fiber preparation, and separation of guard hair from undercoat.

  • Need for Lap Preparation
    Need for Lap preparation: The combers are fed with a small lap produced by combining several slivers. The raw material delivered by the card is unsuitable for combing as regards both form and fiber arrangement. If card slivers were just combined and fed to the comber, true nipping by the nipper plates would occur only on the high points, with the risk that the nippers could not retain the less firmly compressed edge zones of the slivers asshown in the below fig. This is because the slivers are not flattened. The fibres could then be pulled out as clumps by the circular combs during combing operation. A sheet with the greatest possible degree of evenness in cross section, with uniform thickness is therefore required as in-feed to the comber. Effect of fibre presentation: The fiber arrangement must also be taken into account, i.e. in this case the disposition of the hooks. If the comber is to straighten hooks, as it is intended to, then the fibers must be presented to it with leading hooks. The carded slivers have trailing hooks as the majority hooks (more than 50%) as the sliver emerges out of the calendar rollers in the carding machine. Each time the sliver is packed in a can and taken out, the majority hooks change. For example, as the sliver is withdrawn from the card can, the original trailing hooks (as the sliver went into the can) are now counted as the leading hooks as can be seen in Fig. Hence, at this stage majority hooks are the leading hooks.
