In our "barely spare a minute" lifestyle, this book is amazing. It goes through the entire process of hand spinning in picture. It's better than You Tube videos and is entirely at your own pace. If you've ever wanted to learn one of the oldest known activities, this is for you.

tpixie What a lovely craft. That yarn is gorgeous!! Congrats for your blue ribbon!!! 💙💙💙 5y
sixgun @tpixie the problem now is that it sits in my stash because I haven't found the exact right project. But, I have faith, something will come along. I like to work in natural colors. 5y
