Spinning the Draws with Nancie McCraw

Take your spinning to the next step and try a different draw.  We are going to explore different styles of drafting and draws for spinning and discuss how to match thedrafting method to the fiber preparation and the yarn you want.  We cover the Short draws, short forward and short backward, spinning from the fold, and a few different long draw methods, pre-drafting and double drafting.  If time permits we will look at manipulating colors with our drafting techniques.
