Learn to Spin is a colourful, attractive and informative guide covering the basics of the spinning process and much more, including preparation of fleeces, different spinning methods and how spinning wheels work, drawing on Anne's more than 50 years of experience working with fibre. It features a variety of fibres other than wool now available to spinners, such as alpaca, mohair, silk and flax, but also focuses on different sheep breeds and the characteristics of the wool they produce.
The instructions are clear and well-illustrated, but with plenty of "problem solving" sidebars attesting to the time and practice needed for proficiency in any craft.
Several knitting and weaving projects are included, even one to showcase the unique style of your early yarns. As Anne says, these will have a texture you may never achieve again, even if you try.
