Changed line 12 from:

Spinning is a process that require multiple simultaneous actions (keeping tension here and there, unraveling here, rolling there..) and in order to make yarn of with any degree of control, consistency and speed, a spinner need to execute the set of actions with easily and smoothly.

Added lines 24-26:

This was my first attempt at spinning yarn. It consists of a single material: orange wool. The the varying diameter along its length is result of poor control over spinning techniques and some impatience.

Added lines 48-50:

This is my second yarn making attempt. Again I used a orange yarn, I also mixed some angelica fiber into the orange yarn(because the angelica fiber is sparkly and pretty). I learned from my first yarn attempt to practice technique by making a thicker (therefore more manageable to spin) yarn.

Added line 63:

I unravelled a sweater a while ago, and make a ball of untwisted orange cotton yarn. Using the untwisted orange cotton yarn filament, I made a new yarn that is two ply, twisted, and mixed with angelica fibers.

Added lines 76-77:

Yarn#4 is like Yarn#3, with the addition of conductive threads.

to:

The tools needed are few and basic, you just need a small spindle, a small piece of string, and some staples or filaments to spin (in my try, wool).

The complexity come from the act of making yarn itself. Spinning is a process that require multiple simultaneous actions (keeping tension here and there, unraveling here, rolling there..) and in order to make yarn of with any degree of control, consistency and speed, a spinner need to execute the set of actions with easily and smoothly.

Hand spinning is definitely a craft. A skill that you can improve on through practice.
