The Basics of Core Spinning Yarn - Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лют 2020
- Core spinning yarn was one of the first things I learned on a spinning wheel. It is a great way to be creative and carefree with your spinning. In this short tutorial, I go over the basics of spinning fiber over a core yarn, as well as core spinning over wire (Ooooh!).
I hope you enjoy!

This is a fantastic tutorial! Great close-up video, well-explained and demonstrated, and interesting ideas! I am new to spinning; I got interested because I wanted to get yarn made from my dog's hair to make a keepsake to remember him by, and I heard about core spinning as a way to make the fiber go farther. It's been so interesting and kind of therapeutic to process the fur and learn about this whole new craft that I think I'm already hooked on...I might regret that because it seems like an expensive hobby!
What a great tutorial, thank you for that! Love the bit with the wire; it has something magical. 🌷
This was just what I needed. So clear and consistent. Thank you!
This was fun to watch. I want to try it myself but I'll have to find a spinning class first. I feel more adventurous about using art yarn in projects after watching your videos.
Very nicely done, you can clearly see how to core spin.
Thanks Maria, for a fun tutorial ( and the coiled one). I’m new to your channel and am enjoying watching. Thanks again😀✨
Intriguing. Thanks for the knowledge!
Thank you. I am definitely going to try the wire.
It looks like fun!
Thank you for a great video.. I'm so going to save this!!
Nice! Good information. Thanks.
Thanks! Great video 🙂
Hi, I am subscribed to you channel! I really enjoy your videos. I would like to learn to do art yarn, thick in part and unusual yarn combos, etc... And I would like to use the tools you are using. Could you do a tutorial on how to pick a carding drum, brushes, mat and spinning tools. What works for you? What do you like? Thank you so much. I really appreciate it! Keep making beauty! Thank you again.
Thank you for your questions. I'm not making videos anymore, but I have seen some on the internet explaining 'art yarn'. Have you done a web or youtube search? I think you will find some out there.
Thank you for this tutorial, I never knew wire could be a core string. Been on a little hunt to figure out how to tie off and finish yarns though. I have everything on my bobbin still 😅
I usually just bend the wire over the yarn a few times. It's a little bulky, but it works. Just tuck the wire end in the wire so it doesn't poke you.
@@NinjaChickens thank you, I meant for normal yarn without the wire though 😅. I should have been more specific sorry. I have corespun yarn with mohair as my core and it's just sitting there lol
@@shawtazz Oh! Haha! I just leave the ends. I figure I will end up knitting or weaving them into whatever I make from the yarn anyway. It frays a little bit before use, but not too bad. Skeining it up will help keep things in place, too. Then you can just tie the ends together.
@@NinjaChickens thank you so much for replying, for some reason I thought you had to do something else to it otherwise it'll untwist or something
@@shawtazz Not that I know of. Often people will skein it up and then soak it in warm water for a few minutes. Wrap it in a towel and press the water out, then hang it to try. It helps to relax the yarn and set the twist (Especially if it's over twisted a bit). But, I've always just left the ends as they are. Enjoy your yarn!

Hi, I was wondering what thickness of wire you're using here ? i tried with one that was too thick to actually spin and then the other other (even held double) is too thin to keep shape as a bracelet.
Great question! I've used 24 and 22 gauge wire and both have worked well.
Seems to me that all of the Thrift Shop bins of yarn even though acrylic would be a good core?
Yes! thinner yarns from the thrift store would be best. That way they don't bulk up your final yarn too much. (Sorry it took so long to get back to you!)
@@NinjaChickens :) delighted to see you are still around and about! :)
Run it back in the opposite direction as your spinning so you don't have to do the whole thing.
