Want to learn how to spin the cool, funky art yarns found in knitting boutiques (at boutique prices) or on handspun websites in limited-edition amounts? Popular spinner Symeon North demonstrates how to spin unique and creative art yarns, accompanied by clear step-by-step photography that explains each technique in Get Spun.
Taking the craft beyond intriguing but often nonfunctional yarns that are often labeled "art yarns," Get Spun teaches the reader to create useful yarns with structure and balance. By combining this range of skills with an unlimited range of fiber possibilities,knitters and fiber artisans can not only create the yarn of their dreams, they can re-create it and use it for their fiber-art projects.
Intended for the advanced beginner to intermediate spinner, this book explores the spinning fundamentals, techniques for spinning wool and silk, spinning with nontraditional materials (fabric, silk cocoons), introducing add-ins (beads, locks, etc.), and creating exciting plying effects. Nearly all of the colorways featured in Symeon's yarns are created by hand-dyeing or blending. In addition to the spinning techniques, Symeon will share techniques for easy home dyeing and using a drumcarder to blend colors and fibers.

Such a rewarding piece of fabric! We're calling for a lot of leno. This is an all over lace patterning to create a lovely scarf or cafe curtains.
|
This is a fairly straight forward weave with an unusual set up. Follow
the directions carefully to set it up to create a scarf or cowl with horizontal or vertical stripes.
|
This pattern is just a little bit above beginner level. It's not complicated but it does use a pick up stick to create a lace scarf, cowl, or table runner.

Use them alone or on a loom.
Card weaving (also known as tablet weaving) is a way to create
patterned woven bands that are thick, sturdy and beautiful. Though cards
are often regarded as a simple tool, the weavings they can produce are
infinite in design and complexity. The portability of these cards gives
you the possibility of carrying a four harness loom in your pocket.
You can use the cards on their own with a simple tensioning device,
such as tying the yarn to a door knob and tensioning around your waist.
Or use the cards on a loom. An Inkle Loom is an ideal companion, but you
can also use them on a Cricket, Flip, table, or floor loom.
Schacht has developed a card that, at 3.5 inches square, is
comfortable in the hand without being bulky. Colored bands and stripes
are printed along each edge as an aid in keeping track of the card’s
position. Made of sturdy yet flexible 24-point card stock, these cards
will serve you well over many, many warps.
The cards come in packages of 25, more than enough for a range of
projects. All you need to add is yarn and a belt shuttle. You can start
weaving complex bands at less than the cost of two coffees!

Over the years, there are have been some design changes to the Trestle Stand. If you have a Flip loom (or a non folding old style Rigid Heddle from Schacht) that is older than 2-17-10 you will need this kit to make all the parts of the trestle stand work. This is a kit to drill out the arms so that they will fit your loom.

The Spunky Eclectic Sheep Logo features accurate holes to help you figure out your needle gauges. It's so cute and made out of tough bamboo.
It's not just for knitting needles though. If you don't know what grist your yarn is, double it up and see which hole it fits in best (not too tight, not too loose) and that's the needle you should start using first to get a proper even knit to help you realize your gauge.
