That’s the second review I’ve read so far. Sounds like I might have to read this one myself. :-)

Thanks for your comments on my flax spinning post over on KnitMe. I wondered about handcarding my own dyed silk with tow too, but it would be a challenge. The Louet prep has very fine tow; the fiber length of silk and tow are similar; and the roving is combed, not carded, which makes the fibers very smooth and parallel. If you try it, I would love to hear about your experience!

Thanks for your great book review. I am going to put this one on my list.

Great review sis! It was so flattering of them to ask you to review it and so gracious of you to take the time to really give a thorough and complete overlook at its content. I would’ve simply given a ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’! ‘Cause I’m lazy that way…Must be why I’m a crocheter!

Very well done.
