In this video you will learn how to choose the right thread for creating this coil (hint: so it won't break) and we will play with different textures of singles to create fuzzy, smooth, and locked textures of coils for knitting, crochet, and weaving. Common materials used for coiling (cord or yarn) are fibre-flex, sisal, mop yarn, daylily, iris, sweetgrass, pine needles, willow, or straw. For stitching the pieces together or wrapping, a thread-like material such as nettle, palmetto, raffia, or horsehair is usually used. Do not use very soft. This video accompanies a blog post where I go into much detail about how I spun my supercoil yarn. The blog post can be found here - https://www. If you like, ball it up neatly on one end (like shown) to help prevent tangles. I always recommend core spinning with your slowest ratio, especially for spinners new. Before starting, it is a good idea to read through the directions so you understand the general concepts and principles of the splice. A “Fid” length equals 21 times the diameter of the rope (Ref Fid Chart).
