Spin-Off Presents: The Judith MacKenzie Collection: eBook Printed Copy

Judith MacKenzie has been enthralling us for decades with storytelling magic. You don’t have to be a spinner to be under her spell, 

Spinning is in everything—it is the fabric of our lives whether we’re aware of it or not. And this is how Judith MacKenzie approaches spinning. At the same time that she gives us practical information to make our spinning better, she’s also talking about the rich history of spinning and how spinning helps us connect to ancient fabricmaking traditions. Some of these traditions live on because spinners like Judith are actively involved in helping maintain them. I am always fascinated with where a conversation with Judith takes my understanding of spinning. In this eBook, you’ll find articles about how to select a fleece, how to wash it, how to make a pleasantly plump singles, how to ply, how to spin a beaded yarn, how to cable, how to spin fine fibers and unusual fibers, and how to wet-finish your yarn. All of these topics are very practical and needed— but what you’ll also find is Judith’s narrative that connects the mundane with the magical. 

When you spin a thread from a disorganized puff of fluff, you are, in essence, making something from nothing— what could be more enchanting?
