CoreSpin Along
I have something special to share with you this month! As part of our conversation in August, Crystal and I talked about bringing the community together with a textured-yarn spin-along to finish the year. Share your photos, your favourite corespun projects you've made and just HAVE FUN! Let's make a bunch of corespun yarn to celebrate all things textured yarns! Use the tag #corespinalong for sharing your projects.

Show Notes
“Corespinning creates an amazing yarn that can replace a conventional spun yarn.“ -Crystal Hesser
For full shownotes with photos, please visit here
To share your spinning, we have a couple of places to share:
Slack Channel: #texturedyarn
Ravelry Group: CoreSpin Along here
We have talked about corespinning in the community previously:
- 51 Yarns SpinAlong: Corespun, Coils & Supercoils Vlog
- 51 Yarns SpinAlong: Corespun, Coils & Supercoils PDF
- How I Spin: Corespinning & Autowrapping
Tips to Get Started:
- Don’t give up
- Good, strong core
- Add twist to the core prior to starting
- Even tension so that the core is being moved onto the bobbin steadily (this keeps the twist from building up beforehand)
- Steam to finish
- Have FUN!

I hope you enjoy this ALONG with us - even if you just spin a little bit to give the technique a try, I encourage you to do so!
Warmly,
Rachel
