Originally published in the 1978 issue of Spin-Off, this article has a great illustration of a Guatemalan spinner wearing a rodillera (a knee-length handwoven and handspun wool skirt worn by Guatemalan men).

What an interesting piece -- and very interesting, the mention of their method as a way to even out the twist over a longer length of spun yarn. Thanks for making it available.

Thanks for making this article available as a PDF. Invaluable information, from the technical standpoint and also for information about The Linders.
