[@youngmango4508]

Talk about beauty in simplicity. I'm going to give it a shot.

[@phuctran2769]

That is the most beautiful hand twisted yarn i've ever seen.0

[@brotherseraphim9700]

Thank you, a very clear presentation, and very helpful. I am just starting, and hope to try this soon. The loop, I recognize it: it is sometimes called a "half hitch" by sailors.

[@godisincontrol7407]

This is so clever! Thank you for teaching it!

[@binoue3426]

Your tutorials help me very much! Thank you!!

[@lindasebek7684]

Thanks. I spinn wool this way, though my "pencil" is a "spinnekrok", just like a pencil with a hook in the end.

[@ariolagranola3842]

Could a crotchet hook work the same ?

[@karenbochinski]

excellent video

[@kavyakapoor2054]

Can you please tell what you obtained is yarn or a thread?

[@3ekaust]

Loved the tutorial. Mine doesn't look that good though!! Thanks!

[@firstforest4752]

It will with a little practise. It took me some time too.

[@3ekaust]

@@firstforest4752 can this be done with pharmacy cotton? Like the bags you get full of cotton balls for first aid kits? Those are not prepared directionally and i find it really hard to not break the fibers when spreading them.
Thanks!

[@firstforest4752]

@@3ekaust yes ofcourse it can be done with pharmacy cotton. The yarn spun here is with pharmacy cotton. Please see tutorial 1 on how to make a sliver using pharmacy cotton. In that video i demonstrate how to align fibers in a direction. It might help you.

Thanks! :)

[@kavyakapoor2054]

What is yarn? On the pencil or the cotton layer in your hand? Can you please help me with this?

[@josephesckilsen4556]

The yarn is on the pencil, and after it’s all spun, it’ll be either dyed into different colors or it’ll be used as a white yarn, and then you can store as a ball of yarn or use right then when you need it.

[@jessicag630]

How do we fix the uneven thicker parts?

[@firstforest4752]

You can untwist the small segments of slubs between your fingers, stretch the fibres and the fibres will twist back. But above all having unever thicker parts or slubs are a characteristic beauty of handspun yarn.

[@anbiyaanto657]

This is so cool😮

[@jgryner]

How to fix the fact that the cotton keeps breaking off while I’m twisting?

[@ariolagranola3842]

longer fibres needed for this I think.

[@mxrkxo]

great thanks

[@JaneSmith0709]

So cool! Thank you!

[@rinmau1007]

What kind of fabric that produce from this yarn? Cotton cloth or wool cloth?

[@firstforest4752]

Cotton cloth with handspun slub yarn
