While this book is called Spinning Designer Yarns, it is about so much more. The author Diane Varney takes you through the entire fiber process in moderate detail and she is speaking to dyers, weavers, spinners and knitters/crocheters. I was really impressed with her experience and information. I am not a weaver yet, but I was very interested to know the different ways that handspun yarn can be used for spinning and the caution and advise she gives. At first I was a bit frustrated with the book because it is called spinning designer yarns and it doesn't talk about the actual yarn proccess until page 54, but as I read on I was just absorbed in the book. I can't rave about it enough, but I do think the title should be rethought.
