Spin Off - Summer 2017

The art & craft of spinning yarn

Spinning tests our creativity and pushes us out of our comfort zones. Sometimes we’re spinning for a competition such as Spinzilla or the Tour de Fleece, and other times we’re racing the clock trying to meet a project deadline. The Summer 2017 issue of Spin Off offers support for challenges of all kinds to help you increase your spinning skills and your spinning happiness!
