Author: Kluger, Marilyn,
Title: The Joy of Spinning.
Description: NY, Simon & Schuster, (1971). 4th ptg. VG in G DJ. As a little girl author Kluger used to watch her grandmother spinning sheep's wool, "twisting it magically into a long strand. o creamy white yarn." She resolved to find her own spinning wheel a few years ago and had acquired 6 before she learned to spin. Weavers and needleworkers now want handspun yarns and threads for their original designs, and they want to know how to dye them in beautiful subtle colors that native plants can impart to these handspun yarns. She gives them complete step-by-step directions on every aspect of their satisfying craft: how to choose a spinning wheel, where to buy raw wool, how to card (comb and straighten the fibers), where to order spinning wheels and parts, spinnning accessories and fibers by mail.
