Hand Spun by Lexi Boeger
Handspun contains a collection of never-before-published spinning techniques along with interesting, creative, hip projects. This book satisfies fans of the author's first two books in their desire for new materials. As Intertwined becomes more well-known, these handspun styles are flooding the internet craft community. Handspun offers fresh, new, and exciting material for these spinners to move on to. Where Handspun Revolution, the author's first book, was the spark that ignited the genre of Art-yarn, and Intertwined is considered the bible of creative spinning, Handspun builds upon the now common knowledge of novelty spinning, digging deeper into the traditional underbelly of spinning, not as a means to teach traditional techniques, but rather as a way of turning very traditional forms inside out: Using time-tested techniques to deliver cutting-edge forms. This book also covers fiber-preparation processes, from scouring raw fleece to several carding techniques.
The recipient of a bachelor's degree in fine art from UC Davis, author Lexi Boeger is the founder of Pluckyfluff.com, an Internet-based forum for unusual handspun yarns and fiber art. She is the innovator of highly original new techniques in handspinning and is carving out a place for handspun yarn in the realm of pop culture.
