Take a Mill Tour
TURBINE was created by combining two ends of flyWHEEL on the spinning frames. This technique is known as ‘mock-twisting’. By doing this, the yarn comes off of the frames more puffy and soft, but also more delicate than tightly spun singles. To add strength and durability we aggressively combined three ends together on the twister to create a ropy and more durable yarn. This balance of strength and softness is challenging to achieve. If you add too much twist, the yarn becomes kinky and heavy. If you look at the yarn closely, you’ll see the effect that the three ends plied gives the yarn. It reminded us of water spiraling through a pipe, thus inspiring the name. We were very excited with the result and hope you will enjoy this yarn and turn it into a favorite accessory or thoughtful (and quick) gift.
