Drafting the Long and Short of it

By Abby Franquemont (Don't miss Abby's Workshop at The Woolery Feb. 25)

Abby has been spinning since she was five years old. With her lifetime of experience she answers some sometimes confusing questions like: What"s the difference between woolen and worsted spinning, Is there a difference How do you decide when to use what method Why should a spinner care And she helps to make common sense of it all.

In this video she teaches the short forward draw (worsted) and what kinds of fibers it's best for, the backward long draw (woolen) and what kinds of fibers to choose it for, two hybrid drafting methods, including spinning from the fold, important extras such as making good worsted joins and spinning ergonomics. As a result of watching this video you'll be comfortable with a wide range of drafting methods, and you will have developed a sense of when and how to use them with different fiber preparations. It's all part of becoming an accomplished spinner and making the yarn you want.
