CORESPUN YARN!!!
(sorry- had to yell)
So this had become my latest passion. A corespun yarn uses a core thread, yarn, string, or wire. You spin your fiber around this core, which makes the fibers twist perpendicular to the core material. This is a great way to
show off the materials in a batt of fiber that has a lot of different fibers, texture and such in it. So far all my corespun yarns have been made with string, but I'm itching to try spinning on wire soon. This particular yarn was spun using batts from a mini batt swap with Natasha from Gritty Knits.
And of course, all the yarn has so far ended up at my moms as it probably should be knit into something and I'm not getting a lot of that done!
I should also say that VelmaLikeVelvet from Ravelry gets the credit for all this corespinning excitement because she posted a cool instructional video on how to do this on YouTube. Thanks Velma!
