“Corespinning creates an amazing yarn that can replace a conventional spun yarn.“ -Crystal Hesser

To share your spinning, we have a couple of places to share:

Slack Channel: #texturedyarn

Ravelry Group: CoreSpin Along here

We have talked about corespinning in the community previously:

• 51 Yarns SpinAlong: Corespun, Coils & Supercoils Vlog
• 51 Yarns SpinAlong: Corespun, Coils & Supercoils PDF
• How I Spin: Corespinning & Autowrapping

Tips to Get Started:

1. Don’t give up
2. Good, strong core
3. Add twist to the core prior to starting
4. Even tension so that the core is being moved onto the bobbin steadily (this keeps the twist from building up beforehand)
5. Steam to finish
6. Have FUN!

I hope you enjoy this ALONG with us - even if you just spin a little bit to give the technique a try, I encourage you to do so!

Warmly,

Rachel
