Short draw is the spinning technique used to create worsted yarns. It is spun from combed roving, sliver or wool top – anything with the fibers all lined up parallel to the yarn. It is generally spun from long stapled fibers. Short draw spun yarns are smooth, strong, sturdy yarns, and dense.
Once you've reached at least Level 8 in FarmVille 2, you'll gain access to a new building project: the Spinning Wheel. This Spinning Wheel encourages you to tend your Sheep and Rabbits in order to ...
A 36-foot (11 m) in diameter overshot wheel powered spinning mules and jennies. The yarn was then woven into cloth on hand looms. The yarn was then woven into cloth on hand looms. A smaller 7-foot (2.1 m) wheel powered a fulling mill, which washed the cloth and kneaded it with wooden hammers to thicken and strengthen it. [ 2 ]
Combing is a method for preparing carded fibre for spinning. Combing aligns fibers in parallel before spinning to produce a smoother, stronger, and more lustrous yarn. The process of combing is accompanied by gilling, a process of evening out carded or combed top making it suitable for spinning. Combing separates out short fibres by means of a ...
Spinning is a twisting technique to form yarn from fibers.The fiber intended is drawn out, twisted, and wound onto a bobbin.A few popular fibers that are spun into yarn other than cotton, which is the most popular, are viscose (the most common form of rayon), animal fibers such as wool, and synthetic polyester.

Long draw is the spinning technique used to create woolen yarns. It is spun from carded rolags. It is generally spun from shorter stapled fibers. Long draw spun yarns are light, lofty, stretchy, soft, and full of air, thus they are good insulators, [1] and make good knitting yarns.
A spindle is a straight spike, usually made from wood, used for spinning, [1] twisting fibers such as wool, flax, hemp, and cotton into yarn. It is often weighted at either the bottom, middle, or top, commonly by a disc or spherical object called a whorl ; [ 1 ] many spindles, however, are weighted simply by thickening their shape towards the ...
Spinning in the grease covers the spinner's hands in lanolin and, thus, softens the spinner's hands. Spinning in the grease works best if the fleece is newly sheared. After several months, the lanolin becomes sticky, which makes the wool harder to spin using the short-draw technique, and almost impossible to spin using the long-draw technique.
