Corespun on a cotton crochet thread

This is a wonderful yarn! I really love it!! I spun this yarn "out of the bag" style.. from uncarded fiber and locks, rather than a carded batt.

I corespun some beautiful uncarded corridale fleece dyed in autumny shades of orange, brick, sage, grey, cranberry. For super fun texture, I taispun the softest curly kid mohair locks in saffron, brick and pear. For contrast, I used some creamy soysilk. Of course this yarn is FULL of fun add in's like sari silk ribbon, sari silk strands and angelina. While I was spinning, I allowed a brick lurex thread to autowrap around the outside

This is an amazing yarn and will create an incredible piece!

Corespinning is a more intensive spinning technique that wraps the fiber around a core, between a 60 and 90 degree angle. It creates a thick and thin single, that looks quite different than a traditional single. Tailspinning is a form of corespinning- which is a more intensive spinning technique that wraps the fiber around a core, between a 60 and 90 degree angle. Instead of coming the locks smooth, the end if opened and corespun into the yarn, leaving the curly end free. It produces a very warm, light and fluffy yarn that is very strong. It does however, take longer to spin and results in the higher cost.
