In the Author's Words....
Spinning Designer Yarns
"My concept of designer yarn is of yarn spun with a clear concept of the effect I want to create. It is unique and interesting yarn, well thought out and well crafted, that cannot be found coming from the spinning mills.
We spinners have so much potential, and so much power: we can create the perfect yarn for a project we have in mind. We don't have to rely on the spinning mills. We can make the yarn we want. I believe that we often underestimate our abilities and potential and make whatever yarn the wheel churns out; I know I did that for a long time.
Let's not design by default, let's design through choice. Let's make informed, intelligent decisions about the yarn we make. And let's have more fun spinning. My primary goal in writing this book is to inspire you. I'd like it to help you explore new techniques, plan more, and strive for wider horizons." pg. 4
From the publisher.....
Spinning Designer Yarns
"Few things are as satisfying as creating the perfect yarn for a special project. This book, first printed by Interweave Press in 1987, leads the new or intermediate spinner gently into the world of super-soft luxury fibers, textured effects, and the dyepot's miracles. Learn to apply dye to fibers in new, exciting ways' predict how novelty yarns will look in finished fabrics; blend fibers for color and texture effects; and spin singles and plied yarns in ways that will put more zip in your spinning - and your weaving, knitting and crocheting. Corespun, boucle, snarl, knotted, and tufted yarns will become part of your spinning repetoire, and you'll discover the excitement of spinning all over again."
