Did you know that for spinning some fibers, you have to do a long draw? Did you know that you can’t get a true woolen spun yarn without the long draw? Did you know that, in the end, spinning with a long draw is faster? This class will not only show you how to do a long draw, it will let you know when to use it, the fibers best done with it, and the best preparations for it. We will spin with a number of different fibers, and students will spin from thick to thin and everywhere in between to create many samples in learning the technique.

You will need the following tools for this class:

• Spinning wheel
• ball winder
• niddy noddy
• hang tags
• pen
• paper

Feel free to bring your favorite tools and whatever materials you might feel appropriate for this course.
