Sample pages
Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
Two pages from the Minnesota Weaver (May 1979) with Pat Boutin Wald's spinning column, continuing instructions for floor spindle spinning: winding on, rolling the shaft along the thigh, drafting, and unwinding. Reader Q&A on spinning wheels follows, covering low-twist spinning with a doubled drive band and freeing a binding bobbin by reaming it with a threaded rod. Page 2 also carries Connie Magoffin's 'From Woods & Fields' dyeing column, reporting wool dyed with avocado pits and peels, artichokes, tangelo and tangerine peels, and brass, plus an offer of Fred Gerber's book on cochineal.
