Spinning lessons
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page column from the Minnesota Weaver, April 1980, in which spinner Sue John of Wausau, Wisconsin, describes six "learning experiences" from her early spinning. The lessons cover buying a dirty fleece, dye bleeding in handspun yarn, choosing a fleece by staple, grade and crimp, machine carding that blended colored fleece, the cost of buying greasy Lincoln fleece from abroad, and underestimating the yardage in a pound of alpaca. The page also carries short notices of Minnesota and South Dakota shows, exhibits and craft festival deadlines for 1980.
