The spinners Book of yarn designs by Sarah Anderson, book review:

First things first: I SO EFFING LOVE THIS BOOK. BUY IT!!!

Like most books it starts with a nice and tidy chapter overview:

The introduction is just a bit of "what is this book for" a bit of the spinner history of Ms. Anderson, where she got all the ideas and so on.

Chapter 1, Spinning basics

is self-explanatory,

It talks about twist, and controll samples the basics of fiber prepping for spinning (carding , combing, working with dyed fiber) how to choose, what to look for, woolen vs worsted. For a book that is not ment to teach you spinning it's surprisingly detailed (not complaining there is always something to learn in the basics, or to remember)

Chapter 2, singles for plying

How to spin a good single, but So. Much. More!

How to spin a good single, what makes a single good, how thick/thin. Difference between wheels and handspindles. Tips and tricks to spin thin singles on a wheel. AND plying! Like, what kind of plying is out there (chain, bracelet, center pull ball how to trouble shoot etc), how do they behave what to ply together (2ply vs 3ply, and the difference they make in a knitted sample, trouble Shooting)

Chapter 3, stand-alone single

First a general information on how to deal with the different behaving anergy and on felting (some singles need to be felted before using them, but how do I do that)

Peppers through (in ALL chapters) are examples on the yarn and how it looks used (some are knitted, some crocheted and some weaved.)

For every yarn there is a detailed explanation on how to spin them what to look out for and detailed pictures to show the process, that help recreating the yarn

Also look at this cool thing?!?!? Just made with the enegery of the twist! It's plainly knitted, no pattern magic just spinning magic!!!

She also wrote out a very detailed recipe for "sizing" energized yarn. So it stays in form when stored, and after using it and washing the fabric all the energy comes back and makes some unbelievable cool effect (collapsed weave my beloved) how utterly cursed, how utterly beautiful, i want 20

Chapter 4 spiral yarn

In the beginning of this chapter, you have: how the tension shapes the yarn (more tension on the thin single, moderate tension on both, more tension in the fat single) general info on the finished yarn ( it is delicate, and should be used in projects according) also here we have a wonderful example in how the instructions are build

Name of the yarn with a bit of info, the singles you'll need to built it and the direction it is spun and plied (always telling you what fiber got used). And beautiful depiction of yarn and knitting(crocheting/weaving) with the yarn.

In this chapter she also teaches you how to incorporate beads into your yarn in different ways.

Chapter 5, opposing plies

What happens, if instead of 2 S spuns singles plied in Z, you take on S and one Z spun single to ply??? Well, at least 6 different beautiful yarns!

Also one amazing theme through this book, are Ms. Andersons Sock experiments. She takes the same fiber base, spins and plys one sock in basic ply and one in a different way. And then she wears them until the first hole appears to see what yarn construction is more sturdy. Absolutely amazing

Chapter 6, Bouclés

We all know Bouclés, i believe. But who spun them before?

The chapter starts with basic boucle technique 1O1 and takes you on a Wilde ride.

You guys have seen Bouclé in weaving??? I'm madly in love with it

She takes you throu basic bouclé like you know it. Showed differences between fibers, color possiblitys and "spiral bouclé" mixing bouclé with the spiral technique from chapter 4. Which is so insanely beautiful!

It finishes with: shrink bouclé. What happens if you ply a felting single with a not felting single? Spoiler: very cool stuff

Chapter 7, cable yarns

(how beautiful is this combination of color and construction??)

Two 2plys plyed together. Lots of things that could go wrong but if they go right you get a yarn that looks like a chain. How cool is that??? (Extremely) we get a lot of amazing yarns not limited to basic, beaded and dyed. Absolut Chefs kiss 👌

Chapter 8, crepe yarns

Looking forward to these, because I know exactly what fiber to use!

How to describe crepe yarn? That is DIFFICULT, because even if the construction is the same in every yarn, the use of singles and tension makes them absolute unrecognizable! If you get handed two crepe yarns you couldn't tell on the first glance! How is this the same construction method?!?!?

Same build as the other chapters. I want to live in this book. in total 7 crepe yarns that are full of love.

Chapter 9, core yarn

Do you remember the 90' where wrapping colorfully thread around your hair was the shit™?

Yeah, that! But better, because it's yarn! 12 different ways of coils are named in this chapter.

After that follows...

Soft core (this is not an asthetic, well maybe it is, but not in this chapter)

Your basic core spun yarn, in 3 different variations. Explained in detail. What's more to say?

Chapter 10, novelty yarn

Let's combine alle the cool things we learned in previous chapters and add little extras!

You meet an old acquaintance: the knop yarn that is followed by 7 different ways of making pigtail yarn. And then we have: beehives, cocoons, 3 ways of altering the cocoons (+one beaded inspiration) and something that makes my fingers itch with need for colorfull locks: tailspun!

Imagine this:

But SO colorfull!

The last yarn we get to know is "squiggle" a yarn with hiccups (or that giggles) either way it's adorable and very cute!

In the End we have a: glossary, Bibliography 👀, some acknowledgments, an index and some Bock recs.

On the VERY end there is a paper pocket with cards for all the yarns?!?!? HELLOOOO?!?!?

General opinion:

I LOVE this book it is the best book on spinning i have read so far detailed without being overwhelming. Also it is impossible to not notice how much care and love were involved. This is truly a book from a spinner to other spinners.

General information on the yarns and techniques are sprinkled between (like the sock experiment and how to work beads into the yarn)

It is well built, the chapters and everything is well sorted.

All in all, a loveletter to yarn.

Cons: i can't touch the samples. And that is TERRIBLE. Also i want to spinn all the yarns right now in an instant, but i don't have enough fiber, money, or time. A crime!!! Just Mean!!!

My tip: BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE IT!!!

2023 we'll have a spin along to this book. More information will be on this blog shortly:

[justforbooks]

A unique celebration of silence--in art, literature, nature, and spirituality--and an exploration of its ability to bring inner peace, widen our perspectives, and inspire the human spirit in spite of the noise of contemporary life.

Silence is habitually overlooked--after all, throughout our lives, it has to compete with the cacophony of the outside world and our near-constant interior dialogue that judges, analyzes, compares, and questions. But, if we can get past this barrage, there lies a quiet place that's well worth discovering.

The Lost Art of Silence encourages us to embrace this pursuit and allow the warm light of silence to glow. Invoking the wisdom of many of the greatest writers, thinkers, contemplatives, historians, musicians, and artists, Sarah Anderson reveals the sublime nature of quiet that's all too often undervalued. Throughout, she shares her own penetrating insights into the potential for silence to transform us. This celebration of silence invites us to widen our perspective and shows its power to inspire the human spirit in spite of the distracting noise of contemporary life.

What I Read in August 2023

Took ages to even find a decent copy of this book, but quite worth it. Some sad moments, but overall quite a good story and ending to the duology.

Finally hustled and finished re-reading this. Man, don't remember how depressed and traumatized Harry was in this book, poor kid.

Quite fun. ^_^ (and very relatable!)

Intrigues galore!

I was feeling down so I decided to read a couple children's books on my shelves. I do love the art in this.

So cute

Really enjoyed Bransen had to start becoming part of the world beyond himself, his wife and mother in law, kicking a screaming. Also the poweries were hilarious but I'd never want to meet one.

Not sure quite how I feel about this one, I have gotten volume two but the focus on ego and such is kinda annoying to be honest. ^_^'

Another children's book palette cleanser. Love the art.

Read this series online as a fan translation years ago, so am happy to be reading it now in physical properly translated format. It's adorable and heartbreaking (poor Yuzu goes through so much).

I laughed a lot reading this.

Further adventures in trauma land. I was glad with Eren's journey of "being normal" and "not special" and that being okay.

Very sweet really, and silly.

a bit overly wordy, but I'll give it another volume.
