You don't have to know everything to make a yarn! Use what you already know and make a yarn with Jacey using a double drive wheel. Jacey is putting into practice the stuff that Stephenie talked about regarding double drive wheels. So if you found Episode 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 confusing, this should help!
