Description

All the wool is a vlog  all about handspinning yarn, processing wool, knitting, owning a wool mill, farm life and everything in between.

If you are unsure of the difference between longdraw spinning and short forward spinning this is a great episode for you! Or maybe you aren't sure why you would want to spin one way vs the other. In this episode I run through the techniques as well as pros and cons for each spinning style.
