The Spinner's Blending Board Bible

From Woolen to (nearly!) Worsted and Everything in Between

Deborah Held

Description

As more and more spinners delve into fibre preparation for intentional spinning, the blending board has become more popular than ever before. It's space efficient, lightweight, and far less costly than investing in expensive blending tools and machinery. While most spinners know that the blending board makes lovely rolags, few are aware of the many other ways it can be used in one's fiber preparation practices.

In The Spinner's Blending Board Bible, Deborah Held explains the many ways to use a blending board to its fullest capacity. Step-by-step, she reveals secrets for maximizing the board's carding and blending properties, providing an as-yet untapped level of know-how for putting the blending board to use in colour management, combining fibres and mix-ins, and for creating specific yarn structures in spinning along the woolen and worsted continuum.

Beginners and advanced spinners alike will find plenty to learn from her beautiful and instructive photos of fibre, detailed explanations of techniques and numerous blending "recipes."
