I have been learning to spin and knit and this book was so helpful! Jillian walks you through how to think through creating the yarn that will work best for the project you want to make, shows examples of how little adjustments throughout the whole spinning process (including fiber prep and finishing) produce differences in your finished yarn and the fabric it will make, and then shares a collection of patterns and projects from a variety of designers. Thoroughly enjoyable and the photos are beautiful.
