Spinning for Lace with Margaret Stove

Purchase this video at: http://www.interweavestore.com/Spinning/Video/Spinning-for-Lace.html

Create exquisite yarns in no time!

Do you long to spin cobweb-fine threads that are both lively and durable? Meet Margaret Stove. Her methods might seem counterintuitive, but they work! A great advocate of the fine Merinos of her native New Zealand, Margaret is fearless in creating plied blends using silk, angora, qivuit, and more.

Learn how to:
• Handle a fine fleece without felting it
• Wash by the lock with shocking vigor and efficiency
• Adjust your wheel tension for exquisite delicacy
• Ply a balanced yarn, or tweak your hand positions for plying different fibers together

Plus, see how to choose and sort a fleece, separate spinnable staples, dissolve the grease, manage the staple to avoid felting and maximize durability and "bounce." Using high magnifications of the fibers and spun yarns, Margaret explains just how it all works.

@SuperMary- the wheel appears to be an Ashford Traditional wheel- single treadle.

What kind of spinning wheel are you using?

the interweave website would probably be a good start. it would also help in the future to subscribe to interweave's different email newsletters (knitting daily, spinning daily, etc.), because there will be direct links to showcased products.

Is this all there is to this information? Why do these videos leave me wondering where to contact for more information? I am usually so frustrated when I watch anything from Interweave, because there is no way to followup these videos. I would like a link to see more, or buy the dvd, or to a website for the artist.. Something..
