41. Spinning How to begin

42. A sliver is a long bundle of fiber that is generally used to spin yarn. A sliver is created by carding or combing the fiber, which is then drawn into long strips where the fiber is parallel. When sliver is drawn further and given a slight twist, it becomes roving.

43. Short draw is the spinning technique used to create worsted yarns. It is spun from combed roving, sliver or wool top- anything with the fibers all lined up parallel to the yarn. It is generally spun from long stapled fibers. Short draw spun yarns are smooth, strong, sturdy yarns, and dense.

44. Niddy-Noddy made from ½ inch PVC piping and t joint connections.

46. Singles yarns are created by twisting the individual fibers together. Ply yarns are two or more single yarns twisted together. A two ply yarn is two singles twisted together. A Three ply yarn is three singles twisted together., and so on. Cord or Cable yarns are two or more ply yarns twisted together. Cord yarns are used for ropes, cordage, and sewing thread.
