Lesson 5 – Your spinning first aid kit

Let’s be real: spinning isn’t always perfect on the first try, and that’s totally okay! In this ‘First Aid Kit’ lesson, I’m going to show you how to turn those little ‘oops’ moments into expert-level skills. We’ll dive into fixing bumps, handling a stubborn spindle, and mastering the art of the invisible join so you can add new fiber without a trace.

We’re also going to level up your technique. I’ll teach you how to take the lead and consciously choose your yarn’s thickness. It’s time for you to be the boss of the fiber, not the other way around!

In this lesson, you’ll master:

• The Quick Fix: How to smooth out irregularities and bumps like a pro.
• Invisible Joins: The secret to adding new fiber seamlessly and securely.
• Spindle Therapy: What to do when your spindle feels off-balance or stops cooperating.
• Total Control: How to intentionally dial in the thickness of your thread to match your vision.
