Spinning Books
| Picture coming soon |
In a Spin by Pat Old $31.95The book has been arranged as a series of projects with the exphasis of each project more on technique rather than the reproduction of the final item. I think it is a 'must have' for every spinner, new or more experienced.

Spinning Designer Yarns 96pp $16.95 |

The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook 96pp$18.95 by Lynne Vogel The title gives you a big clue: this book is about sisterhood, sharing, crafting, giving, laughing. It’s also about spinning yarn and making socks—not just any old yarn or any old socks, but glorious, zany, wildly colorful yarn for perfect-fitting socks of character. Dip-dyeing, pour-dyeing, and hand-painting yarns or wool rovings is as easy as making homemade soup, whether you use commercial dyes or Kool-Aid®. If you like starting from scratch, spinning one-of-a-kind yarn is easier than you think. And the socks—a pair of well-crafted, perfectly fitting socks is one of life’s true luxuries. It’s all right here in this book.
