Spinning Textured Yarns
Welcome to Spinning Textured Yarns with Debbie Held.
This class will be released on June 7th, 2023.
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 & 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.
SweetGeorgia Yarns’ spinning fibre is used for all the spinning demonstrations.

I spun some alpaca fiber into yarn 😍 so pretty! Next step - 2 ply it and then tackle warping (threading all the yarn through) my loom. ashford_wheels_looms glimakra.of.sweden #sosspinning #espinner3

I purchased a handmade suspended spindle for the first time in my life! Handmade wooden crafts make my heart sing.
ついにお迎えしてしまいました！ドロップスピンドル。
CreemaのクラフトSATOさんというお店で手作りのものを購入させていただきました。
おまけで、綿花と、オーガニックコットンの種まで！！本当にうれしいです。
羊毛だけでなく、コットンやシルクもつむげるようになりたい！と夢だけは大きく。
ところで、つむぎ用の羊毛ってどこで買うのがいいんだろうか…色々これから調べてみます

April has been BUSY and I noticed that my monthly FOs tend to reflect how busy my work schedule is. My #freshstartheadband is my only FO for this month so far and it makes sense, but it`s funny how spot on it is! 🙈 Do you notice this with your knits also?
After finally finishing the Warm Neutrals pre-order I had a lot of other deadlines to meet. Finalising my advent colorways was a huge goal for me this month (which I finished! 🎉) along with some wholesale orders and getting the Wanderlust 2022 Favorites together (which are coming in May!). On top of that, my parents are visiting, there is school vacation, and we are taking a small trip to London. Luckily, I think I`ll redeem some knitting time while my parents are here and while we are on vacation, so it should balance a bit in the end! 😊

Together with a good set of hand carders and a flicker, a diz may be one of the cheapest and more useful fibre prep tools you can get. If I had to choose, I would go as far as having a set of hand carders and my set of dizzes as my only fibre tools. They are versatile and extremely compact.
New at the School today, Greta @gretacornejomakes talks about the wonders of this fibre prep tool at her new article "What is a Diz and Why Do You Need One?". Continue reading the full article (link in bio) at the School!

I have been learning about different ways of rearranging colors in fiber to produce different results. So that’s what is currently in progress here with another 4oz of merino in “Pink Elephant” by fiberlovediary.
Another new tool for me is a bobbin winder, which is fast and efficient!

If you’ve ever analyzed a chunky or bulky yarn, be it as a singles or a plied structure, you’ve likely noticed its airy, low-twist attributes. While its modest beauty is easy enough to recreate with a little know-how, many handspinners have trouble putting a thicker intention to the treadle (or the motor, in the case of e-Spinner enthusiasts), especially those spinners who typically spin a finer and/or more worsted-style default yarn.
If spinning a heavier-gauged yarn has evaded you thus far, the information at Debbie Held`s @doodler01 new article, Getting Bulky: How to Spin a Thicker Yarn, may be just what you need.

Continue your exploration of spinning luxury fibres with us... we`re delighted to let you know that the video lessons are now available at the new Spinning Luxury Fibres: Camelids course, taught by Rachel Smith @woolnspinning!
Learn a repertoire of spinning preps and drafts to create stable yarns with fibres like alpaca, llama, and camel. With an introduction to Camelid fibres, including types, locational varieties, considerations for spinning, and exploring Merino wool and silk blends with these luxurious fibres, Rachel will briefly introduce the camelid family of mammals and discuss how their genus breaks down.
Find the Spinning Luxury Fibres: Camelids course at the School (link in IG profile), and share your spinning journey with us at the SOS Community Forums as well. Happy spinning!
