Spinning art yarn is easier than you think. Get started exploring and having fun spinning your own novelty yarns with this free eBook.
Spinning art yarn builds skills and muscles in your hands and helps you break out of the well-worn groove that many of us find ourselves in. It can also be all too easy to forget that spinning is supposed to be fun. There is joy in mastery, in stretching your limits and making yarn that meets an established standard of quality. There is also joy in play. Inside you'll find:
Spinning Prepared and Unprepared Fibers - Learn how to add locks to prepared fiber to create more texture and provide a unique look to the yarn.
Plying in Locks - Dive into the process of inserting locks while plying, and play with a variety of fibers including sari silk, lengths of yarn, or other items.
Autowrapping Novelty Yarn - Requiring minimal labor, this great technique gives a yarn mystery and zing with its peculiar perpendicular wrapping and just gets more impressive when combined with other techniques.
Making Fine Bouclés (Not quite from scratch!) - Making bouclés is wonderful fun and results in an endless variety of bumpy textured yarns to use in knitting or weaving projects.
