Book:
Learn to Spin Silk on a Top-Whorl Spindle

Have you ever dreamed of silken yarns, shimmering, cool and fresh? Have you wanted to learn to spin, but been put off by wool or fuzzy fibers? Yes?? Then start with this book!

This booklet is slender, but it will teach you to spin silk. From the first page to the last, the focus is silken: what silk is, what it wants from you, and how to get what you want from it.

Suitable for brand-new beginners and experienced spinners. 40 pages. Autographed. $12.00 plus shipping.

Pamphlet:
A Pictorial Companion for 'Spin Silk!'

When Learn to Spin Silk on a Top-Whorl Spindle was first published in 2002, I didn't have the wherewithal to illustrate it as I'd hoped. That's all changed. This eight-page document is the result.

Starting with the first movements of the spindle in your hand, this pamphlet takes you step by step through the process of spinning silk, explaining each step with both pictures and words.

This pamphlet gives a quick synopsis of my one-hour spinning class, and it's included (free) with each copy of Learn to Spin Silk sold on this website (in other words, if you're ordering a book, you'll automatically get this pamphlet along with it!).

For those who already have the book and now want the pictures,
your wish is easily granted.

8 pages, full color, $3.00 includes postage.

Coming soon:
