Step 7Spin Some Yarn.
Okay MacGyver,
You need some string, all you have is a screwgun, a hook, and a stuffed animal. What do you do?
Put the hook into the chuck. Take the stuffing out of the stuffed animal, and twist it in your hand to form some string. Tie it to the hook. Now, gently pull the fibers away, while turning the screw gun.
And ta da, you have yarn. It takes some practice, but it's fun, and the yarn is pretty strong. This is a lot more fun than using a drop spindle, and a nice way to show kids how yarn/string is made from fibers.
