Spinning
from the fold is a great technique for spinning slippery silk, and
slippery man-made fibers like tencel, soysilk or bamboo. But that's not
all spinning from the fold is good for! You can use this technique to
get a loftier yarn from combed top by mimicking a less aligned
preparation like a carded preparation. By pulling the fibers out
sideways from the combed top, they are able to incorporate more air
into the finished yarn giving you a lightweight, lofty, warm result.
