Although I've spun long draw before, I've never broken down the steps like this before. Can't wait to make a more consistent yarn. Thankyou Josefin.

Thank you, and happy spinning!

You make it look easy 😊

It is once you learn it. But it takes practice in both spinning and carding technique.

It looks like magic! Thank you! What spinning wheel are you using? Don’t think I’ve seen one like that before.

June Nilsson Thank you! 😊 It’s a Merlin Tree RoadBug.

Wool, Cotton, or both? I’m still trying, getting better but not very consistent thickness yet. I’m thinking my issue is in the fiber prep.

I'm using wool, but I think cotton would work fine as well. The technique is a good match with short fibers. As you say, it all starts with the preparation of the fiber. The English longdraw requires very well prepared carded rolags. I usually use my hand combs for teasing and then card.
