Control Card, Yarn Gauge & WPI

Clip it to your shirt, wheel or belt and this handy tool is there when you need it to spot check your yarn as you spin it.

It's a handy tool to figure out the diameter needed for a specific ply and to make sure you are spinning a consistent yarn! Determine the number of wraps per inch that you want your finished yarn to be and multiply this by the number of plies you want.  The result is the thickness of each single as indicated by a number on the card. As you spin, lay the yarn periodically against the clear acrylic card and compare to ensure consistency.  
Guidelines for various weights of finished yarns, including fingering, sport, DK, worsted and bulky. Includes a Wraps per Inch (over 2 inches) tool, along with guides for the approximate width of each weight of yarn.

This is a handy WPI tool to calculate the approximate weight of your finished yarn, wrap the yarn comfortably (not tightly, but not too loosely) in between the 0 and 2 and divide the total number of wraps by 2. Compare your WPI to the WPI guidelines listed on the spinners control card.

As a spinner, this is

"As a spinner, this is very helpful, and will make actually using my yarn much easier. I may still have to knit a swatch but it makes knowing where to start much easier."

Susan S. (5/5)

Grer hand spinning tool!

"I love this spinning guide. Instead of think “well, it looks like I’m getting better at hand spinning,” I can keep track as I go (if I remember to…maybe Rosie’s next iteration will have an automatic built in reminder for me ?!? lol) Seriously, it clips on so I won’t lose it, it’s clear acrylic so I. Can easily measure the size of a strand, and I love it."

Handy Tool

"Well designed tool for measuring width of spin. It is more precise than some of the wooden ones. I like that it is on a clip which I can keep near my wheel."

Consistent spinning
