Spinning Textured Yarns
Welcome to Spinning Textured Yarns with Debbie Held!
If you’re wondering how spinning textured yarns differ from art yarns… they don’t. All art yarns are stable, usable yarns that can add texture, however bold or subtle, to the cloth in which they’re used. The yarns in this course are truly timeless, and they’re presented in a skill-building logical order that’s meant to inspire you in your own application.
If you are just getting started in your spinning journey, we recommend you check out the Fundamental Spinning Courses section. If you have previous spinning experience, the Spinning up a Level course is a great one to work through before or after this course.
Throughout the videos, you’ll learn:
- Adapting your wheel and e-Spinners to spin textured yarns
- Spinning soft & low twist singles with slubs
- Wrapped & plied yarns:
- Spiral ply yarns: basic spiral ply & flame yarns
- Coils: 2-ply slub coils & supercoils
- Core-spun yarns & Core-less core yarns
- Inclusions: Lock-spun & tail-spun yarns
- Crepe yarns, and more…
We hope you come away from this course with a new appreciation for these classic textured yarns and their infinite potential. Look on the materials tab for supplies, many can be found at SweetGeorgia Yarns.

I finished my #attuneshawl using #handspunyarn and thefibrecompany #arranmorelight in a beautiful teal. The handspun was from a sweetgeorgia braid that I spun in July.

This art batt by fatcatknitsdyer simply took my breath away. It’s soft (BFL), sparkly, full of texture, and I haven’t quite experienced anything like it!

As the change of seasons and the back-to-school routines get settled, with the holidays and gift planning still weeks away, this is the perfect time to plan a project just for you. Join us this month for an SOS Spin-Along!
As Greta @gretacornejomakes shares in her new SOS post—
I’m celebrating the change of season by prepping fibre and getting it ready for spinning a fractal 2-ply yarn. I hope you join us in spinning for a project, plus share your spin-in progress with us and meet with new and old friends. You can join the spin-along at ANY time, so dive into your stash or visit the @sweetgeorgia shop to find some beautiful fibre (Felicia`s handspun 3-ply fractal in BFL+Silk Salted Caramel is shown here) and spin along with us!

Beautiful skeins and sweet beginnings of my Attune shawl! The liveliness and crisp texture that you feel and see when knitting with handspun is a wonderful sensory experience.

Fractal spin on my Schachts ladybug spinning wheel in the center. I have 4 braids of hello yarn fiber club august color pit a pat. The wool is Corriedale. I run it through my steamer 2x to open up the braid. It is a joy to spin worsted weight yarn. #helloyarnfiberclub #helloyarn #corriedalewool #schachtladybug #spinningyarn #sosspinning
