The technique is full of superpowers that I will dissect in this post.<\/p>\n<h2>Lofty and warm<\/h2>\n<p>Spinning English longdraw will get you a lofty and warm yarn. When sampling for a spinning project recently I tried different kinds of drafting techniques, turns per inch, thicknesses and fiber preparation. I was amazed by the difference between the &#8220;regular&#8221; (American) longdraw and the English longdraw \u2013 the English longdraw was so much softer and loftier!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2330\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2330\" style=\"width: 2892px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2330\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/english-longdraw\/img_6024\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_6024.jpg?fit=2892%2C3156&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2892,3156\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 8&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1545300567&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;40&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.05&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_6024\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_6024.jpg?fit=525%2C573&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-2330 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_6024.jpg?resize=525%2C573&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A skein of white yarn\" width=\"525\" height=\"573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_6024.jpg?w=2892&amp;ssl=1 2892w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_6024.jpg?resize=275%2C300&amp;ssl=1 275w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_6024.jpg?resize=768%2C838&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_6024.jpg?resize=938%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 938w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_6024.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_6024.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2330\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sweet little skein spun with English longdraw. 16 g, 36 m, 2297 m\/kg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>A double drafting technique<\/h2>\n<p>When you spin with the English longdraw you use a double drafting technique:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>After you have gathered the twist you make the draw.

A good idea to practice the English longdraw is to begin with a slower tool like a Navajo or Akha spindle. You also spin with an English londgraw on a walking wheel. The English longdraw is an excellent choice for spinning short fibers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2320\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2320\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2320\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/english-longdraw\/skarmavbild-2018-12-19-kl-18-56-23\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2018-12-19-kl.-18.56.23.png?fit=540%2C554&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"540,554\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Sk\u00e4rmavbild 2018-12-19 kl. 18.56.23\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Spinning English longdraw&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2018-12-19-kl.-18.56.23.png?fit=525%2C539&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2320\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2018-12-19-kl.-18.56.23.png?resize=525%2C539&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Josefin Waltin spinning on a spinning wheel\" width=\"525\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2018-12-19-kl.-18.56.23.png?w=540&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2018-12-19-kl.-18.56.23.png?resize=292%2C300&amp;ssl=1 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2320\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An arm&#8217;s length&#8217;s draw gives consistency.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h1>Consistency<\/h1>\n<p>With the English longdraw you have the opportunity to spin a consistent yarn. The draw in itself helps achieve this consistency since it is quite a long draw. \u00a0In addition to that, you can make the yarn even more consistent by planning your project.<\/p>\n<h2>Consistency as a bonus<\/h2>\n<p>When you spin with an English longdraw you can make the draw as long as you like or find comfortable. This is achievable with American long draw as well. The difference is that by gathering the twist in the English longdraw and then make the draw in one motion, the twist will catch the fibers more evenly over the draft.<\/p>\n<h2>Consistency by design<\/h2>\n<p>As I wrote in the paragraph above, the length of draw in itself helps you achieve a more consistent yarn. However, you can also take advantage of this and plan for even more consistency. By aiming for the same length in every draw, you will add to that consistency. Try to get a feeling for what draw length is comfortable and stick to that length in every draw. Voil\u00e1 \u2013 consistency.<\/p>\n<p>You can also add to the consistency by controlling the amount of twist in every draw. I do this by having a set treadle count \u2013 I make samples of different amounts of treading and set my inner meteronome to the count that gives me the best yarn for that particular fiber. In the video I count to eight when I gather twist, make the draw and count to ten when adding twist. By doing this for every draw I will have a more consistent yarn.<\/p>\n<p>It has to be said, though \u2013 no yarn will be consistent without a good preparation. I use hand-carded rolags. Hand-carding rolags takes a lot of time, but it also gives me a lot of practice. The yarn I&#8217;m spinning at the moment (not pictured) \u00a0is a 3-ply yarn. One single is 20 grams and consists of around 16 hand-carded rolags. That makes 48 rolags for one 60 gram 3-ply skein. So far I have spun 10 skeins \u2013 480 rolags. That&#8217;s a lot of practice and 480 chances to learn new things. Think about that the next time you sigh over your hand cards.<\/p>\n<h1>The technique<\/h1>\n<p>So, let&#8217;s get down to the nitty-gritty of the technique.\u00a0Spinning English longdraw is done in a four-step sequence:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Building up twist<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Making the draw<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Adding twist<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Rolling onto the bobbin<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We will look at each of the steps individually. But before you do anything, you need to make sure the wheel is ready: Bring out the oil and lubricate. Spinning English longdraw requires serious spinning wheel pampering.<\/p>\n<h2>Building up twist<\/h2>\n<p>In this first step I prepare for the draw and decide how much fiber I want in each draw. With quite a low ratio I build up twist just in front of the unspun fiber. That means that I hold the rolag carefully and treadle for a set amount of treadles. <em>I pinch the yarn with my spinning hand just in front of the rolag <\/em>so that the twist doesn&#8217;t enter the fiber. This is the only time in this technique where the spinning hand is on the yarn. The fiber hand takes care of the rest.<\/p>\n<h2>Making the draw<\/h2>\n<p>In this second step I decide the thickness of the yarn.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of things happen at the same time now. <em>I unpinch the yarn with the spinning hand and make an arm&#8217;s length draw in one single motion <\/em>with my fiber hand. This lets the twist enter the unspun fiber as both fiber and twist distribute over the drawn length. I now have a pencil roving with a soft twist in it. I need to make the draw slow enough so that the yarn doesn&#8217;t break and fast enough so that the fibers still have their mobility. This of course also depends on how much twist you have built up \u2013 how many treadles you have counted to.<\/p>\n<h2>Adding twist<\/h2>\n<p>In the third step I decide how much twist I want the yarn to have. I hold the yarn in the arm&#8217;s length I have decided and <em>count to my set treadle count<\/em>. \u00a0I watch the yarn and assess it as I treadle. If I need to, I have time to make adjustments in this step.<\/p>\n<h2>Rolling onto the bobbin<\/h2>\n<p>The last step ends the just made draft and prepares for the new draft. <em>I roll the yarn onto the bobbin in one smooth motion<\/em> and pinch the yarn just in front of the rolag again, ready for the next draw.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2332\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2332\" style=\"width: 865px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2332\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/english-longdraw\/skarmavbild-2018-12-19-kl-18-54-43-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2018-12-19-kl.-18.54.43-1.png?fit=865%2C574&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"865,574\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Sk\u00e4rmavbild 2018-12-19 kl. 18.54.43\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2018-12-19-kl.-18.54.43-1.png?fit=525%2C348&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-2332 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2018-12-19-kl.-18.54.43-1.png?resize=525%2C348&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Close-up of a person spinning on a spinning wheel\" width=\"525\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2018-12-19-kl.-18.54.43-1.png?w=865&amp;ssl=1 865w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2018-12-19-kl.-18.54.43-1.png?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2018-12-19-kl.-18.54.43-1.png?resize=768%2C510&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2332\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">When gathering twist, I pinch the yarn with my spinning hand just in front of the rolag.
