Should you rewind bobbins of handspun singles? (51 Yarns 44: Be Kind, Rewind)
Rewinding bobbins of handspun singles might seem like an unnecessary extra step but there are many reasons that it might be worth doing. In this video I talk about eight of those reasons and also show you multiple ways to rewind, including a little-known tip to turn your wheel into a bobbin winder. **I love helping people learn about fibre arts...
