WhorlUpdated 6 months ago

The whorl is the unsung hero of your spinning wheel. It’s a small disc that helps control how fast your yarn spins by adjusting the tension on the fibers. A large whorl will spin slower, which is great for thick, chunky yarns, while a smaller whorl spins faster, ideal for fine, delicate lace yarns.

Fun Challenge: Try switching between different-sized whorls while spinning. It’s an easy way to experiment with different yarn thicknesses without changing your fiber.
