Woollen Yarn Spinning
The process of spinning wool yarn involves twisting and drawing wool fibers together to create a continuous strand:
Carding and combing: Wool is mechanically processed to disentangle and align the fibers.
Spinning: The fibers are twisted and drawn together to form yarn.
Milling: Multiple single yarns are joined together to create stronger yarn.

Twist: Twisting the yarn increases its strength.
Tools: The oldest tool for spinning wool is a straight rod with a circular weight at one end.
Drafting: Drafting is a technique that helps keep the twist from going into the cloud.
Ratio: A lower ratio, such as eight to one, can help when spinning wool.
Backward draft: A short backward draft can help put enough twist in the fiber to hold it together.
