spinning yarn

Step 8 Add more fiber

When you run out of predrafted fiber, or when you break your yarn, you'll need to make a join.  This is really just the same as when you initially joined your fiber to the leader, except that instead of a leader, you are joining to your own handspun.

Tease out a few fibers, hold them together with the fiber at then end of your handspun, and add twist until the fibers grip together. Twist is like glue for fibers, and they will magically grip onto each other. Now continue spinning as before.
