The new issue of Spin Off magazine is almost here. Spring 2019 brings fresh energy, new inspirations, and of course, lambs!
For the Winter 2019 issue of Spin Off, Emily Straw and Joanna Johnson teamed up to bring us the Copper Beeches Cowl.
Socks, scarves, jeans, sweaters . . . There is always mending to be done.
For me, The Intentional Spinner by Judith MacKenzie is one of those special books that is full of craft detours.
Carded cloud—with colors swirling and fading into one another—is not a fiber prep I often see in my fiber travels. Well-prepared cloud, with clean fibers open and ready to welcome twist, can be hard to come by.
How do you get ready for the new year? The Spin Off crew have all been preparing to say goodbye to 2018 in their own way. Happy Handspun Holiday from our flocks to yours!
My Shetland Half-Hap is finally finished—it was a fun handspun lace project from beginning to end.
Most fiber artists I know have a stash of loose ends, remaining half-balls of yarn from knitting projects or piles of thrums too beautiful to throw away.
Woolen-spun yarn is often a soft single with comparatively more ply twist, so once your skein is pulled off of the niddy noddy, it will look like a mess.
