Softness can be an obsession with spinners and other fiber folk We may gush over the fine, crimpy fiber of Merino and Polwarth (not to mention cashmere and yak), but the fiber world holds so much more! Find out all about these lovely fibers in Spin-Off's compilation of articles over several years. Now all in one place. 

There are encouraging signs that spinning palates are expanding  to include longwools. Known for luster and silkiness, these wools are ideal for weaving and for handspun outergarments. They spin beautifully into true worsted yarns. They are strong and not pilly. They have character.

(Some of these fascinating and informative articles are “vintage,” and the reproduction standards don’t match the quality of our later editions. Still, the information in them is excellent and we wanted to share it with you.)

Spin happy!
