Patterns For Spinners.
Roberta is a hand spinner. While she does use commercially spun yarns in some of her projects, she tries to write all her patterns from a handspinners perspective.
The wraps per inch and yard per pound are given for each pattern, allowing spinners to create a suitable yarn. Because different fibers weigh differently we strongly recommend following the wraps per inch method, and then creating a swatch to judge suitability.

The whirring of the spinning wheel creates a meditative state of relaxation. The satisfaction of creating your own yarn is the reward.
