  • agitator helpers - old jeans, tennis ball(s), boots, thongs - anything that can take the heat

Difference Between Worsted and Woolen Yarns

I have been playing with yarns and wool just about all my life and could never quite get what the difference was between worsted and woolen yarns. Well maybe I will finally get it now and hope you do too.

You might have come across these various terms and wondered yourself what they meant: worsted yarn or wool, worsted weight yarn, carding, wool or card wool, wool combing. The variations of these terms are quite endless. No wonder I have been so confused before!

Feel like Felting?
