Nothing to do with twist as I understand it. Worsted is spun from Combed fiber and is smoother and more dense than woolen-spun, which is from fluffy carded fibers.<br />Hope this helps.<br />Beverly near Yosemite, CA<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-60782898833416611312016-11-26T04:18:57.585+00:002016-11-26T04:18:57.585+00:00I have added the cable book to my Christmas list. ...I have added the cable book to my Christmas list. If there were no fixed prices for books in Germany, I could have bought it yesterday with 20 % off. It took me totally by surprise that almost everywhere there were "Black Friday specials", or just 20 % off everything. I think it was the first time ever; the shops were not fuller than on a normal Friday, and quite a lot of people had no clue what Black Friday meant. But I think that now it has started, it will be a big deal soon.

It's produces only a very subtle difference when knitting though IMHO. The norm for hand spinners is to spin z and ply s.<br />I've heard great things about the cable book - think I'll add it to n my Christmas list.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364440447314657315noreply@blogger.com
