Spin-Off, Fall 1987 Digital Edition

In this out-of-print and hard-to-find issue of Spin-Off, we take a look at the state handspinning, looking at the history of Spin-Off, the conservation of the craft, and the climate of the spinning world. There’s also a look at spinning tool suppliers, an adventure into Qiviut, and words of wisdom for beginning spinners. Plus, there are full project instructions for an Earflap Hat.
