The Winter 2010 issue of Spin-Off is so full of fiber that if you snuggled up next to it, it will keep you warm. Open the pages and you’ll find (images of) angora, qiviut, alpaca, and sheep’s wool tucked into every available space, plus lots of great tips on how to spin these fibers. This year, we’ve included a six-page Natural Fiber Directory in the issue--this is a special section that you can pull out and take with you for reference when you’re shopping for natural fiber. As a bonus, we included enlarged versions of the charts for the Qiviut Shawlette by Sandi Wiseheart on the back of the directory (the charts are also included with the pattern in the magazine). The pattern for the half-gloves shown on the cover is included in the handspun gallery, along with six versions of the half-gloves showing just the tip-of-the-iceberg of what can be done with the pattern if you vary the fiber, color, and/or grist of the yarn you use.
