Lock SpinningUpdated 5 months ago

Lock spinning is a technique where you spin wool locks, usually curly or textured, directly into the yarn. It creates a beautiful, rustic yarn full of texture and character. This method is popular in art yarn spinning because it adds a lot of visual interest and unique qualities to the yarn.

Tip: Lock spinning can be challenging with a regular spinning wheel, so try using a large orifice and a lower twist setting to accommodate the texture.
