Spinning in the Old Way

Author: Priscilla A. Gibson-Roberts

Loose fibers become yarn because of twist, which holds them together. A bunch of loose fibers will fall apart if you pull on their ends. Just by adding twist, you can create yarn that is sturdy enough to be knitted or woven into fabric.

What's almost as remarkable is that you can spin perfect yarn with simple, inexpensive tools. All you need is a high-whorl handspindle, unspun fiber, a few yards of leftover knitting yarn, and the gentle guidance of master spinner and knitter Priscilla Gibson-Roberts.

Whether you're a curious newcomer to fiber crafts, a knitter who wants to know why to bother with spinning, or a long-time spinner looking for new and better ways to make the perfect strand, you'll love this book.

With a warm touch and plenty of clear illustrations, learn everything you need to know about this ancient and inspiring craft.
