A two-page "Swatch Page" column from Minnesota Weaver offering practical advice for handspinners. It covers fiber choices, spinning cotton with a long draw, setting the twist and sizing for cotton and wool, and scouring wool using a four-bath formula (given in a table). It also covers dyeing, spinning oils, and tips for weaving with handspun yarn. Much of the advice draws on a workshop by the Linders and cites Irene Emery and Marilyn Kluger.
