This
little book will teach you all you want to know about
handspindles and how to use them to make your very own
yarn. Designed to appeal to the beginning spinner, tips
and hints are provided that illustrate how easy, enjoyable,
and relaxing spinning can be. Handspindles are the simple
tools that help you to turn wool into yarn: from a potato
on a stick, to beautiful handcrafted wood spindles and
new-age titanium spindles with CD whorls. Included are
complete instructions for five simple, appealing projects:
a woven scarf, a knitted bunny bag, a spiral-knit baby
hat, knitted fingerless mittens, and a crocheted felted
brimmed hat. Once you begin spinning on a handspindle,
you won’t want to stop—it’s soothing,
portable, and mesmerizing.
