We’re excited to offer you this resource guide. It offers the compiled index of Spin-Off (twenty-three years of spinning articles, profiles, projects, gallery pieces, stories, and more), as well as the most up-to-date information about spinning guilds in your area and resources for finding the supplies you need to pursue your craft. The Spin-Off Index and Resource Directory is both a reference tool and a storehouse of information. It is also a marker of where we’ve been and a sign of where we’re going. When I think of our spinning community, I think of the diverse group of people represented in the pages of Spin-Off. I also think about our common bonds and our desire to share our experiences and knowledge. And this knowledge keeps growing; I receive good proposals for articles and projects almost daily. Like the history that stretches out behind us, way back before recorded time, our future is broad and seemingly limitless. Even so, few people outside our community are aware that hand- spinning is alive and thriving today. My challenge to you for the next twenty-three years is to bring this passionate pursuit of ours into the light of the public eye. Take your handspindle with you—spin as you wait in line at the post office, grocery store, or bank; spin as you ride the bus to work, on your lunch hour, at the laundromat; spin at PTA meetings, in the park, at the airport. Smile at the folks who look at you curiously or ask what you’re making with your “loom.” Show them how to make yarn, tell them why you love to do it, and encourage them to learn how. Let’s usher in the next generation of spinning by telling the world our secret—that the peaceful humming, the meditative rhythm of twisting and drafting, the comforting tug of the wheel on the yarn, is a tremendous gift for peace and harmony. Let’s share it. —Amy C.

  • 4-H Crocheting Project Member Guide
    4-H Crocheting Project Member Guide Crocheting is one of the oldest needlework arts. To crochet means to form yarn or thread into a fabric using a hook. Its name comes from the French word croche, meaning “hook.” The crochet hook was one of many tools first used to make delicate lace. As time went on, more stitches and designs came into being, and crocheting became a separate art. Crocheting appeals to many people because it can be used to make a variety of creations, such as scarves, caps, vests, sweaters, purses, belts, lace, doilies, tablecloths, afghans, pillow covers, and bedspreads. In the 4-H Crocheting Project, you can learn to: • Crochet articles for yourself and others • Select, use, and care for crocheting tools • Work and share with others in your club • Keep simple records of your project and activities The 4-H Crocheting project is divided into six phases. Skills to learn and suggested articles to make are on page 2. Your club leader will teach you how to do basic crochet stitches and help you find patterns to use as you learn. When you reach the advanced phases, you’ll need to choose patterns from a variety of pattern books, needlework books, and magazines. You can find these at newsstands, notions counters, fabric stores, or specialty shops that sell yarn and thread. If you want to show others what you learn in the Crocheting project, check with your leader about exhibiting articles at fairs or other community events. If you make an article to wear, you might like to model in your county 4-H fashion revue.

It was the fall of 2013. Some of you may not have even owned your business in the yarn industry yet, while others of you had been at it for well over 20 years. Some of you had not yet become parents; others were close to becoming empty nesters. A lot can change in five years, but of course, a lot can stay the same. Five years ago, Yarn Market News made a change. Because of dwindling advertising dollars, we announced that we would be publishing three issues a year instead of five. And this issue marks our first all-digital issue, born out of both a desire to go green and to help the magazine’s struggling bottom line.

  • Berries and Buds Beret Di Alice Twain
    Berries and Buds Beret di Alice Twain This fall-like beret uses the lovely pure cotton Circe or the recycled wool Amore to maximum effect. The tightly plied texture and vivid colors of the yarn create an unusually elastic fabric with a unique softness and elasticity which enhances to the maximum ribbing, cables, bobbles and leaves. The result is a romantic and fresh design that, if knitted in Circe, will add that light touch of protection in cool but not yet cold weather, if knitted in Amore is perfect for the winter cold. The hat is a slouched beret that will fit an average woman’s head. For a smaller size to fit a child, skip rounds 4-6 in the second repetition of the bobble section (there will be only 3 bobbles) this will make the hat both smaller and shorter. You may also skip a few plain rounds before you work the border. For a longer, wider hat, add 2-3 extra plain rounds.

  • Introduction to Crochet
    Introduction to Crochet Crochet is such a wonderful craft. There are so many facets and variations to explore with a hook and some yarn. The creative possibilities are endless. Crocheters do not just use yarn; they crochet with every imaginable form of fiber. I have seen items made with kite string, fishing line, wire, rag strips, and paper strips. I’m sure there are some fibers used for crocheting that I have yet to see. In this book, I have included an extensive collection of stitches, from the very basic to more intricate techniques. Delicate lacy openwork to heavier textures like bobbles, bullions, limpets, basket weave, and double-sided crochet, edgings, and motifs are all included. Detailed, step-by-step instructions, charts, and photographs accompany each stitch. Every stitch is ranked by level of difficulty to help you try your hand at progressively complex stitches, and there are sample projects throughout the book that showcase at least one of the stitches used in each group. In addition to the stitch section, there is a specialty crochet methods section. In this section, I have included methods such as freeform crochet, intermeshing crochet, and crocheting raglans from the top down. I have asked fellow designers, who are experts in their fields, to contribute a project in their area of expertise to the specialty crochet methods section. Contributors and their projects include: Pauline Turner, Polish Star; Melody MacDuffee, Overlay Crochet; Julia Bryant, Tapestry Tunisian; Jennifer Hansen, Hairpin Lace and Broomstick Lace; and Tatyana Mirer, Bruges Lace. Fellow freeform crocheters Prudence Mapstone, Myra Wood, and Pam Shore have graciously allowed me to show photographs of some of their garments in the Freeform Crochet chapter.

  • Vogue Knitting LIVE Launches in New York City in January
    NEW YORK, NEW YORK 6,000 Knitters and Industry “Knitterati” to Gather for New Event Vogue Knitting LIVE Launches in New York City in January. Popular Classes Already Sold Out More than 53 million people know how to knit or crochet—and the number is growing. Following the successful premier of Vogue Knitting LIVE in Los Angeles last year, Vogue Knitting magazine announces a new event at the Hilton New York January 14–16, 2012 . Knitting, an ages-old craft, is taking the world by storm. Professionals, Hollywood A-listers, and rock stars have all joined the ranks of knitters, and Ravelry, a popular social media site for stitchers, boasts close to 2 million members. Its benefits are renown: A Harvard study from 2007 concluded that knitting may be as effective as medication in reducing stress. “We know that knitters love getting together at yarn stores to learn new techniques, compare projects, and hear from top designers. We’ve simply taken that to the next level by creating the largest live gathering of knitters in New York,” says Trisha Malcolm, editor of Vogue Knitting and originator of Vogue Knitting LIVE. Vogue Knitting LIVE caters to knitters at all levels—from the knit-curious to experienced designers and crafters. In 2012, knitters can expect: • More than 75 how-to sessions, some of which are already sold out. Topics like “An Overture to Estonian Lace” and “Working with Antique and Vintage Knitting Patterns” bring 200-year old techniques to new generations. Other sessions such as “Happy Hat Knitting” and “Sock Innovation” focus on specific types of projects.

  • 7. Wool Combing
    7. Wool Combing Errol Wood Learning objectives On completion of this topic you should be able to: • Outline the objectives of wool combing • Describe the design of a typical rectilinear comb • Explain the steps in rectilinear combing – feeding, initial combing, final combing and drawing off, and sliver formation • Discuss the means by which noils are removed, and the balance required in setting the amount to be removed • Explain the purpose of re-combing • Calculate: tear ratio, noil(%), romaine, regain and combing production • Discuss the factors that affect the combing quality of fine wools Key terms and concepts Combing (Nobel and rectilinear), nips per minute, doublings, noils, finisher gilling, packaging, re- combing, tear, noil(%), romaine, percent fibres less than 30 mm, combing production. Introduction to the topic Wool combing is a comprehensive term when used in its widest sense, and it embraces all the operations carried out in a topmaking plant. It includes the processes of raw wool scouring, drying, carding, backwashing and preparer gilling. Then follows the actual combing operation and the sequence of topmaking processes concludes with two gilling steps called top finishing (or finisher gilling). Combing is not included in the semiworsted or woollen processing routes. Wool combing, the single process, is indispensable in the manufacture of a worsted yarn. The card has disentangled the fibres in the mass of scoured wool and has mixed them in a roughly parallel formation.
