Review on Unlocking the Handspun Revolution: Intertwined Art, Modern Patterns, and Creative Spinning by Gelin Battle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

On the other hand.

On the contrary, I think it's an incredibly interesting book if you look at it from the point of view that basically, as the title suggests, it's more of a book about ROTATION than KNITTING . Not only are the photos amazing and on almost every one of the 300 pages, but the author gives fairly detailed explanations as to why and how she spins all these unusual stories. I always thought only new spinners produce this huge uneven yarn to sell on Etsy because they had no experience spinning fine, even yarns, but now I understand the thought process and work behind spinning oversized yarns. , unusual yarns that I appreciate very much. hey, this book almost made me pull my spinning wheel out of the back of my closet and start spinning again! Her descriptions of yarn creation and the ideas she comes up with were just inspirational! I also disagree with knitting (and crochet) patterns - I think she gives some ideas on how to use these unusual, creative threads and constantly stresses that they don't work in a regular pattern like commercial threads. This yarn is suitable for more "artistic" projects where it is best seen (scarves, necklaces, hats, skirt outlines or mittens) for which it will provide ideas (and patterns). Overall, the book is quite imaginative and should spark a lot of ideas in the readers. (I do not know, what other book does the first reviewer have in mind - did Lexi write the previous book?)
