Description
For every new spinner who has ever seen someone sat at a wheel and been drawn to a basket of beautifully prepared rolags and the rhythmic turning, or sat at a wheel and wondered if the magic would ever click, this is for you.
This is a gentle, practical beginner’s guide to spinning on a wheel using prepared fibre such as roving and top, without the overwhelm of starting with raw fleece. It is written for the spinner who wants to begin simply, enjoy the process, and learn in a way that feels encouraging rather than intimidating.
Inside, you’ll learn the parts of a spinning wheel, how to stop and start with confidence, how different tension systems work, and what spinning ratios really do. The book focuses on those important first hours at the wheel, when rhythm, comfort, and small wins matter more than perfection.
Designed to be both a guide and a journal, it also includes beautiful spaces to make notes, track progress, and record what you learn as you go. Whether your first yarn is smooth or lumpy, fine or full of character, this book will help you understand your wheel, trust your hands, and enjoy the quiet satisfaction of making yarn of your own.
You do not need to be an artist to make something beautiful. You just need to begin.
