In the Author's Words....
Hands on Spinning
"There is one more thing that I want to impart to you: the sense of fun and satisfaction that can be yours when you begin to master the art of spinning. Like any learned skill, it takes a bit of patience and practice, but the rewards are both immediate and long lasting. There is a fine sense of accomplishment in being able to start with raw fiber and end up with a superior fabric. There is an endless source of experimentation and discovery in seeing the results of dye baths, color and fiber blends, yarn designs, and fabric constructions. Spinning connects you with history, relaxes the tensions of the day with easy rhythms, and gives free rein to your creativity - not a bad bargain at all." (pg 5)
