You might also want to try putting your drive band onto a larger whorl, which causes twist to enter the fiber more slowly. Slowly increase the tension until you can feel the wheel pulling the yarn into the orifice. Take the brake band off, then put it back on with the tension very loose.
If it feels like you’re fighting with the wheel - that it wants to yank the spun and not-yet-spun fiber out of your hands - then the brake tension is too tight. Beginners often hold onto the fiber supply for dear life, but you need to let go a little in order for the spun yarn to wind on. It’s possible the yarn isn’t winding on because you’re holding it too tightly. You want just enough tension to pull the yarn in, but not so much that it yanks out of your hands. Try taking the brake band off, then putting it back on with the tension very loose. The problem might be that the brake tension is too low. Or is the yarn looped around the hook or loop? That happens all the time - the twist in the yarn makes it loop back on itself and get caught. Is your drive band seated properly? Is your bobbin correctly positioned? Is your brake band on? This is one of the most common spinning-wheel problems when you’re first starting out.įirst, check that everything on the wheel is in the right place. Trust us: with a little guidance, you’ll be able to figure things out. Whatever happens, don’t despair! We’re here to help ease your frustration with some spinning-wheel troubleshooting. Or you may find yourself wondering helplessly, where did the end go?! Your yarn won’t wind on, or it’ll wind on too tightly.
SPINNING WHEEL BOBBIN NOT TURNING HOW TO
When you’re first learning how to spin, you may find that things can - and, we’re sorry to say, probably will - go wrong at some point.
