Spinner's Control Card

The Spinner's Control Card is a handy tool designed to help measure wraps per inch (WPI) quickly and accurately. Originally created for handspinners, it makes it easy to monitor yarn consistency and stay on track while spinning.

Regularly checking WPI allows spinners to produce more consistent yarn and achieve their desired yarn weight. A quick spot check can help identify variations before they become a larger issue, resulting in a more uniform finished skein.

The Spinner's Control Card is also a valuable reference for knitters and crocheters. Use it to help identify the weight of handspun yarn, mystery yarns without labels, thrifted finds, or stash yarns that have lost their ball bands. By measuring wraps per inch, you can quickly estimate whether a yarn is lace, fingering, sport, DK, worsted, bulky, or another weight.

Compact and easy to carry, this practical tool is a useful addition to any spinner's, knitter's, or crocheter's toolkit. It helps take the guesswork out of yarn identification and makes selecting the right yarn for a project easier than ever.
