Spinning Together, Back in the Day

I was cleaning out some piles of stuff in my office the other day (I will say right up front, I probably win the prize for piles), and ran across an oooold copy of Spin-Off advertising our very first Spin-Off Autumn Retreat . That's what we called...

The Fierce And Powerful Art Of Plying

The first time I tried to ply some of my handspun yarn, I went in the wrong direction. I had spun my singles clockwise, and I tried ever so hard to ply it clockwise, too. My excuse is that I was self-taught, no teacher, no book, no Spin-Off magazine ...

How Big is Your Yarn? It Depends.

Are you one of those spinners who wants everything to be precise? Who believes all yarn is either woolen or worsted, nothing in between? Who believes an inch is an inch, and that's the end of the story? Do not read further. I've just been reviewing...

Spinner's Questions? Ask Rita Buchanan

My first question, when I was learning to spin many decades ago, was "why does this darn doorknob thingy keep dropping on the floor?" Well, that was a long time ago, and it really was a wooden doorknob on a dowel, and I was trying to spin grease...

Every Day's a Holiday!

Or: why spinners need their own special calendar Old hippies have their own special calendar (so they can find out on what day "A Whiter Shade of Pale" hit the top of the charts). Mathematicians have their own calendar (in case they need a reminder...

Meanwhile, back in Guatemala . . .

I can hardly believe it’s been four months since I was there. But I’ve had that trip on my mind a lot, and for good reason. Spin-Off is planning to publish a wall calendar for 2010, photography is happening today, and a beautiful supported...

Spinimation—The Maggie and Eunny Show

I’ve rattled on for years about how hard it is to put spinning instruction in print. It’s such a dynamic, process-intensive craft—so hard to capture in one-shot increments. For all my carrying on, though, I think we’ve done a pretty...
