Technical measuring not for you? Not interested in taking the TPI, WPI, twist angle, and grist? Jillian Moreno talks measuring for the intuitive spinner in this segment. A guide to gathering the bare basics and going from there!

WPI is a quick, easy, and imperfect way to measure yarn. Jacey walks you through how to do it, how not to do it, what it can tell you, and what it can't.
