Silk by Sara Lamb, teaches spinners how to create smooth lustrous yarns from a gorgeous but tricky and sometimes intimidating fiber in this second installment in a series of fiber specific books.
Lamb discusses the various forms in which silk is available - combed top, bricks, noils, hankies, and bells - and how best to card, prep, and spin them, specifically touching on trouble spots such as drafting and adding twist. She also covers finishing yarns - cleaning and degumming, setting twist, and plying, as well as how to blend silk into other spinning fibers.
