A rather wonderful idea has hit me, and I’m so excited about it! This coming Monday I plan to begin posting useful links and tutorials for beginning spinners. When I first began spinning I had to run all over the Internet to find how-to’s and videos of demonstrations. These lists will put lots of that information in one easy-to-get-to place.
I’ll cover drop spindling, wheel spinning, fiber types, drafting, spinning balanced yarn, and a few of my favorite places to buy fiber. I may even compile links on dyeing and some of the rarer forms of spinning, such as Great Wheel, tahkli, and charka. This is going to be tool I wish I had had when I began. I can hardly wait to get started!
Sounds like a great idea! Are you going to post links on a certain day of the week, or do them all at once?
Actually, it’ll be a little different than just posting links.
Throughout the week, and hopefully every day, I will be posting lists of links on various subjects. For instance, one will be “Beginning the Drop Spindle” and that post will contain multiple links that I found helpful, my own thoughts, various recommendations, and other handy little tips.
