In the Author's Words....
"You don't have to be a handspinner to use this book - all the information you need for substituting yarn, whether handspun or millspun, is provided. "
"The designers of each project have shared details about the handspun yarns they created - fiber, spinning method, and other measurements - but this book assumes that you go your own way and adapt the pattern to your own needs." (pg 4)
