Inspirational book: Intertwined by Lexi Boeger

I am new to spinning. I am searching at my local bookstores for any

spinning related books. I happened upon this one to my surprise at

Joann's.

It is full of inspiration, and even if you don't try any of these spinning

ideas, beautiful to look at.

Pictures are great, and Pluckyfluff aka Lexi Boeger  covers it all. She does

briefly cover a "balanced yarn" but this book is about nontraditional spinning,

including everything from chenille, nubs, slubs, and cocoons to shredded paper

and ribbons.

Lexi recommends a drum carder and says, "I would rather have a drop spindle

and a drum carder than a fantastic wheel and commercial roving." I think

this tells you what kind of yarn you will see her produce.

Pluckyfluff  gives advice and permission for us to look at

everything, and think we could add it into our spinning, mistake? No such

thing.

There is also a large section devoted to patterns, both knit and crochet, felt

and woven.

Even if you don't buy this book, I urge you to pick it up and browse through

it, or check it out at your local library.
