Raves and Reviews
I’ve spent decades exploring the idiosyncratic qualities of a multitude of fleeces, along with different tools and techniques. I know very well the joy of pulling a lock out of a newly-shorn fleece and gauging its length, crimp, color, and texture—wondering which adventure it will lead me on. Josefin’s contributions to our community encourage us to open our hearts and our hands to the incomparable pleasures offered by every woolly sheep, who annually shares its bounty with us and bounces back into the field, already growing the fleece that will carry subtle traces of the year to come into our future crafting quests.
I encourage you to open this book and your mind and let Josefin guide you on this incomparable voyage.

Thank you Josefin Waltin for this incredible contribution to the world of spinning literature. Many of the approaches in this book would be of use to anyone turning towards a new skill or seeking more depth in a current one. Whether or not, dear reader, you work wool yet, I hope you will give this delightful book a spin (pun intended)!
