To predraft or not to predraft that is the question? My answer is, as usual, “it depends”. To say there is a difference of opinion in the spinning community about predrafting is an understatement, but I think it’s a useful technique.
Predrafting is a skill, so we will start by practicing the technique. Next we will examine the difference between non predrafted and predrafted samples and see how it affects the yarn or project. We’ll spin a variety of fibers so you can make the decision if you should predraft or not.
