Excellent for advanced techniques in yarn spinning & design, Jan 27 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Spinning Designer Yarns (Paperback)
With color photo examples, excellent clear black & white illustrations and well written step by step instruction, this book shows how to advance beyond the creation of a simple basic yarn on a spinning wheel. Fascinating techniques such as core-spun, overtwist, snarl, knotted, tuffed yarns are just some of yarns you will be able to learn along with various dyeing methods, yarn texture and design

Not bad..., Dec 22 2007

This review is from: Spinning Designer Yarns (Paperback)
A lot of good information, attractively presented. I learned about a few specialty yarn constructions and overall the book was easy to read.When I took it out of the envelope, I was a little disappointed by the size of the book. It's pretty thin. A lot was covered, but it didn't really seem like it was covered in depth. I was hoping to hear MORE about fibers, MORE about twist, etc.
To be fair, my main reference up to this point has been the Alden Amos Book of Handspinning, and that's a tome, so that might have affected my perspective. Still, this book just seems a bit "broad brushstrokes" for me.

Just what I was looking for, Oct 31 2006

I have only been spinning for a short while, but I knew I wanted to explore beyond the basics, maybe get into making art yarns and the like...this book fits the bill perfectly, it assumes you know basic techniques and explains ways to move beyond....I am very pleased with this book!
Listmania!
