With easy-to-follow, step-by-stepdirections,
Anne guides the novice spinner through all they need to know to get
started. She explains the spinning process and techniques, including
preparation of feeces, worsted and woollen spinning methods, plying,
adjusting tension, treadling, skeining, drafting and blending as well
as helpful advice about spinning wheels and how they work. A wide range
of fibres suitable for spinning are featured — wool, alpaca,
silk, mohair, cotton, angora, synthetic and blended fibres — with
details on the characteristics of each fibre and the best spinning
methods to use. Also included are many great projects with full
instructions on how to use your newly spun yarns. The book is
illustrated with full-colour photographs throughout.208 pages |
