The Care Issue, #47, Winter 2024

It’s safe to say that spinning is fundamentally about self-care, right? It brings us peace, happiness, and a generous supply of yarn. The latest issue of PLY focuses on care: nurturing our bodies, minds, and creativity; maintaining our wheels, yarns, and finished projects; and looking after our communities, traditions, and the environment. Are you experiencing pain while drafting, using a drum carder, or combing fiber? We have articles to help. Do you have wool allergies, stiff joints, or broken spindles and damaged carding cloth? We’ve got you covered there too. Perhaps you just have cold feet or hands or need a new sweater? We’re here to help with that as well.
