Spin-Off Presents: Spinning Fine Wool eBook

There are so many different reasons to love fine wool: softness, crimp, and the potential for spinning gossamer yarns. From the first prized Merinos gradually exported around the world to newer breeds such as CVM, fine wool is surprisingly versatile. Beyond the ubiquitous (but delightful) Merino top are fine fleeces to select, wash, and process for delightful yarn. In “Spinning Fine Wool” you won’t find one single method for spinning or washing wool, but rather a collection of results from experienced spinners who have found success using several different methods. Fine wool isn’t a one-size-fits-all fiber. Its beauty comes from its ability to be used to make luxurious fabrics in a multitude of ways. And after reading this eBook, you’ll have the spinning wisdom to try out on your own projects!
