Yesterday’s
answer:
C. Yarn spun
by a beginner
An expert on the spinning wheel could control the
thickness of the thread, depending on how hard or soft the finished product
felt. Some wool was spun tighter and twisted harder if it was to be used for
warp in a loom. Other yarn, which would be knitted into stockings, shawls,
scarves, and mittens, was made with two fine threads doubled and twisted
together. A single thread was used to weave cloth. If the person spinning was
just learning, or if the spinner was not skilled, the finished yarn would not
be very uniform. This yarn was called “pig trough yarn.”
