Lesson 7 – The Finishing Phase

It’s time to truly bring your yarn to life! In this final lesson, we’re taking your hard work off the spindle and giving it a well-deserved spa treatment. I’ll show you how a little water, some snapping, and a good ‘thwack’ will set the twist, relax the fibers, and reveal the final look of your yarn.

We’ll also get hands-on with the niddy-noddy and the WPI tool. These tools are your secret weapons for uncovering all that ‘label info’, like yardage and ideal needle size, that you’d normally find on a store-bought skein. By the time we’re done, you’ll know exactly what makes your yarn unique and be ready to show off your very own handcrafted treasure!

In this lesson, you’ll master:

  • The Finishing Touch: Everything you need to know about washing, snapping, thwacking, and steaming.
  • The Niddy-Noddy: How to create a professional-looking skein that’s ready for knitting or weaving.
  • Cracking the Code: How to determine your own yardage and needle size (WPI).
  • Fiber Care: Pro-tips for storing your handspun treasures so they stay perfect for years to come.
