Product Description
For knitters, crocheters, and weavers ready to make their own yarn, this handy guide provides detailed instructions for spinning both on a spindle and a wheel, and offers a special section devoted to troubleshooting and wheel maintenance that keeps projects on track. It offers a comprehensive look at the various available fiber options, choosing and preparing each type of fiber for use, and crafting these materials into ready-to-work pieces. A final chapter on the various uses of spun yarn focuses on project planning, with definitions and context for measuring wraps per inch, determining yards for specific projects, and choosing a yarn size.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"The techniques are shown clearly, which makes this the best of all publications in this review for communicating spinning technique...Maggie Casey has more 'troubleshooting' help...and I think this is very important for new spinners struggling to resolve problems." - Dorothy Lumb, YarnMarket
