I've heard a lot about this corespinning and art yarns and never thought it would interest me...but a spinner should not say "never"! Your video has me re-thinking the whole idea of art yarns. What kind of wheel are you spinning on in this video?

@emily91ify Glad to hear you are getting interested! I am spinning on a Lendrum DT in this video.

What do you use for your core?

@chocolatefountainpro

I always use something strong, because I don't want it to break. Spinners choice!

I attended a workshop at a fiber frolic today. Your vid made it all click! Thanks! Do you ever add "stuff" to your yarn? Beads, or felted things? Post another vid if so?

Thank you! Watch my other video for how to do inclusions.

Hi, I have only just started spinning, so got some questions: do you ply this afterwards? or if left a single yarn, I've seen a process called fulling, which seemed to be a slight felting of the single yarn, is this always necessary or can the single be used just as is for knitting etc? Thank you =D

Cool vid!

great video-I love the bulky yar. I am shopping for a spinning wheel-do you know a good place to try different spinning wheels?

in my opinion, it doesn't matter i you spin z or s; if you ply, just be sure to spin in opposite direction.

glad you found the vid useful!
