The focus is not only on spinning yarn but also on how to prepare fibers for spinning. (I would guess that it is more common in the US to buy unprocessed wool fresh from the sheep. Also, from what I've seen and the vocabulary in each language, english-speaking countries seem to have more types of carded wools while in german(y) combed wool seems to be standard.) The spinning section does mention spindles without a hook (like mine) but clearly focusses on spindles with a hook. I have only skimmed over the projects. They look very nice though are not things I would make or use. no reviews | add a review
Here are step-by-step instructions and illustrations that explain how to make yarn from scratch using handspindles--simple tools used to turn wool into yarn. Designed to appeal to the beginning spinner, tips and hints are provided that illustrate how easy, enjoyable, and relaxing spinning can be. This manual also includes complete instructions for five simple, appealing projects: a woven sleeve, a knitted bunny bag, a knitted baby hat, knitted fingerless mittens, and a crocheted hat.
