In this online course, you will use your existing knowledge of the HILO Spinning Machine and Software to develop yarn samples and software settings for fancy yarns such as cable, spiral and bouclé yarns. Our experienced trainer will guide you through the whole process from machine and software adaptations to your first yarn cards with fancy yarns. The aim is to gain more security in the yarn creation but also to reflect on previous experiences with these tools within your specific application fields.
