Learn How to Cross-Lace Your Spinning Wheel for Consistency and Comfort

Cross-lacing is a fantastic trick to help you spin fine yarns more consistently and comfortably. Simply carry your singles from one side of the flyer to another in a zigzag pattern, and then continue spinning as usual. Lacing the wheel's flyer reduces how hard the wheel pulls against you, giving you more time and control of your yarn as you spin. You'll instantly feel the difference in your hands! Give this tip a try anytime you are working with slippery or short fibers, such as the silk shown in this clip, or when you just looking for that perfect laceweight. Cross-lacing is one of those tricks every spinner should know!
