Few things are
as satisfying as creating the perfect yarn for a special
project. This book, first printed by Interweave Press
in 1987, leads the new or intermediate spinner gently
into the world of super-soft luxury fibers, textured
effects, and the dyepot’s miracles. Learn to apply
dye to fibers in new and exciting ways, predict how
novelty yarns will look in finished fabrics, blend fibers
for color and texture effects, and spin singles and
plied yarns in ways that will put more zip in your spinning—and
your weaving, knitting, and crocheting. Corespun, bouclé,
snarl, knotted, and tufted yarns will become part of
your spinning repertoire, and you’ll rediscover
the excitement of spinning all over again.
Diane Varney is an author and
artist of many talents including spinning, painting,

her time between homes in Baja California, Mexico, and
the San Francisco area.
