Author Sara Lamb discusses the various forms in which silk is available--combed top, bricks, noils, hankies, and bells--and how best to card, prep, and spin them, specifically touching on trouble spots such as drafting and adding twist. She also covers finishing yarns--cleaning and degumming, setting twist, and plying--and even touches on what dye processes are best for adding color, as well as how to blend silk into other spinning fibers. Sara includes brief discussions on spinning for both knitting and weaving, the properties of woven and knitted fabric, and what the spinner needs to take into account while creating yarn for a subsequent project. 650 0 $a Hand spinning. 650 0 $a Silk. 650 0 $a Yarn. 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204074011.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110055925.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=88CA7F3229C311E499A8AD93DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
