Pairing detailed instructions with clear, step-by-step photography, this dynamic guide of spinning techniques and demonstrations explores an array of fiber possibilities--such as wool, glitz, and sari silk--to create unique yarn for fiber art projects. Designed for the advanced beginner to the intermediate spinner, this reference covers a variety of subjects such as spinning fundamentals, techniques for wool and silk, spinning with nontraditional materials, introducing add-ins, and creating plying effects. Additionally, the comprehensive tutorial offers information on easy home dyeing and directions for using a drumcarder to blend colors and fibers.

This is about advanced techniques on a wheel, and therefore of little use to me at the moment. (I'm just beginning to spin with a spindle.) However, I did find it interesting to read. Some of the exercises might be useful in a few months, and I certainly will keep it in my library.

Looking forward to reading and learning from this book.

I didn't really like the yarns, but I realize this is totally subject because I don't generally like art yarns.
