Lee Raven is a former systems analyst who helped found the Bay Area Spinner's Textile Study Group and organise the Northern California Spinner's gathering, and is former editor of Spin-Off magazine. When she discovered spinning in 1980, she found it more exciting than anything she had previously done and she 'jumped in with both feet'. Lee teaches spinning locally and nationally and holds the world record for spinning fine silk. Have you ever imagined making your own yarn? With only a hand spindle and this invaluable guidebook, you can explore the fascinating craft of spinning wool into yarn for knitting, crocheting and other textile projects.
