Setting Twist for Handspun Yarn - How To - Tutorial - Expertly Dyed

How To - Tutorial - Handspun yarn needs to have the twist set in order to consider the yarn finished. Here I am setting the twist on some newly skeined yarn. You have to be a bit rough with this process if you want your yarn to bloom and soften. It's also crucial for distributing the twist evenly so you knit with a balanced yarn.

I enjoyed this video! My daughter and I are new to spinning. In fact, she has only spun a small amount on a drop spindle at the moment. A friend has given us 10 raw Miniature Cheviot fleeces. We have washed one and are in the process of carding it. I subscribed to your channel now and will spend a lot of time watching your videos. Thanks so much!

I always worry my neighbor is going to wonder what the heck I am doing, when he hears wet, violent thwacks from my place late at night

[@peekabeaux]

I see this is very old, but thank you, i’ve been spinning for about a year now and knew I was supposed to add weights never knew why.

Great video...learned a whole bunch...Thanks!!

Thank you so much for doing this video. I'm a beginner at drop spinning and am planning on spinning Chow dog fur I've collected over the years. Needed to know how to prevent the spun fur from unspinning. Think you've answered my question about that.

[@PibblesnKnits]

Thanks for the video. It's exactly what I was looking for as I am getting started spindling. I do have a question though, I've been watching various videos on how to set the twist and one thing I saw at a glimpse in the past, but haven't yet seen in any of the videos I've watched was someone putting their hands in the center of their skein and kind of like quickly moving their hands apart to thwack the yarn that way. Do you know anything about that?

You rock...

"always complaining about how much yarn and fiber you have..."

[@ellamarie2258]

do you dye with Natural dyes or with acid based synthetic dyes? I find that i want to start dyeing yarn, but I only like the palette of natural looking dyes, not the acid based the dyes, they are too strong. .I prefer earth tones. Thanks you. Great videos.
