Tour de Fleece Stage 7: Overhand Drafting

Welcome to Stage 7, Team! We have been doing a tour of techniques while working on a Rambouillet breed study!

We are spinning with an overhand draft today. This can be helpful for people who have a hard time spinning with their palm facing upward. The main difference is in the pinch. Instead of pinching with your thumb going towards your index finger. The index finger is doing the pinch towards the thumb. It takes time to get used to this feel so take your time with it and use scrap fiber to test it out.

I am using hand combed Rambouillet fleece and spinning it fine. Let me know what you have used and don’t forget to use the team tag on Instagram.

I hope you give it a try!
