You don't have to know everything to make a yarn! Use what you already know and make a yarn with Jacey using a bobbin-led, single drive wheel. Jacey is putting into practice the stuff that Stephenie talked about regarding bobbin-led wheels. So if you found Episode 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 confusing, this should help! She'll talk with setting up your wheel, getting comfortable with your fiber, and getting the right uptake/tension with this greedier drive system. She'll also show you up close and clearly how the bobbin-led system works, how the bobbin leads the show and the flyer follows and how the yarn winds on. There's pulley/whorl talk, twist talk, brake talk, staple length talk, fiber stripping talk, and cross-lacing for decreasing uptake as Jacey spins a worsted-style yarn using a short backward draft. Spin along and show us pictures of your yarns in the forums!
