This is a step by step tutorial on how to spin my famous art yarn mixing roving and curls without the use of a core. The tutorial is divided into 8 videos between 2 min to 16 min each.
links for each videos are included in a pdf you can download after purchase. You will receive an email for downloading. If you have issues message me I will send it myself to you.
This course is bilingual English French. Ce cours est bilingue anglais francais.
In this class I show you how to do the yarn in those photos. It does not includes the dyeing process. This yarn is a single spun with merino roving, tencel/superwashed roving and wool curls locks. It shows the technique how to join the transitions between differents fibres and spin the locks leaving the tail to show freely in the yarn and hold them together to form a yarn. I also show how to wash and set the twist to achieve a beautiful skein looking.
Also please note that I can add extra videos to this classes. If you need further explanations or that I show how to do something on another type of wheel I will gladly help you. Don't hesitate to ask.
Dans ce cours je montre comment faire le fil que vous voyez sur ces photos. C'est un fil simple sans ame pour soutenir. Je porte l'accent sur comment faire de bonnes transitions entre les différentes fibres, la tresse de merino, la tresse de tencel/merino superwashed et les meches. Les longues meches sont filées en laissant une partie libre pour creer de la texture. Je montre aussi comment fixer le twist a la fin pour avoir un bel echeveau.
Si vous avez besoin de de conseils supplémentaires sachez que je peux ajouter des videos en extra a ce cours. J'ai quelques rouets différents si vous avez besoin de conseils technique ca me fera plaisir de vous aider.

For now on, I no longer accept returns. I provide enough photos and information online, and I’m available to answer any additional info prior purchase. Taking so much photos, editing them so they look as accurate as possible, uploading them, takes a considerable amount of time on top of creating the products. I have been selling online for over 18 years. If you can’t deal with screens calibration differences, and don’t read description and don’t look closely at my photos, maybe its better for you to buy in person. Im sorry but I can’t handle the uncertainty of returns anymore, as well as all the costs involved.
However: things happens and I’m open to offer you a store credit.
