Yarn spinning transforms discrete fibres into continuous yarns through a controlled interplay of drafting, torsion and winding. Advances in understanding the kinematics of twist insertion and ...

A focused tutorial on worsted yarn spinning techniques, demonstrating both the short forward draw and short backward draw. The video contrasts the methods, discusses fiber control, and shows how each ...

Since opening in November, a 600-square-foot space in Irving Park has been home to people looking to slow down thanks to wooden tools used to spin raw wool into yarn. Inclement Craft, 3436 W. Irving ...

The Santa Monica Public Library will host a free yarn-spinning workshop on Saturday, July 19, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Montana Avenue Branch. Volunteers from the Greater Los Angeles Spinning Guild will ...

Scanning electron microscope image of a highly coiled, wax-filled carbon nanotube yarn that maximizes tensile contraction during actuation. This image relates to a paper that appeared in the Nov. 16, ...

As a knitter, I was beyond delighted to read the Dec. 1 Metro article "Artists plot to knit Brookland together," about a group of knitters planning to "yarn-bomb" the Brookland area. But Annalisa ...

Scanning electron microscope image of a two-ply, carbon nanotube yarn that can be deployed as a torsional muscle in a motor. This image relates to a paper that appeared in the Nov. 16, 2012, issue of ...
