Spinner Interview: Beth Smith

June 14, 2015

Recently I had the pleasure to sit down with Beth Smith, the author of The Spinner’s Book of Fleece, and ask her a bunch of questions. Beth Smith is an accomplished spinner who has written many articles and now a fantastic resource book for every spinner. Her book takes the reader on a tour through different breeds and types of wool, and shows her recommendations on how to process each kind. It’s full of examples and beautiful photography.

Find the interview here.

Join me as I ask Beth questions in this interview where we cover more than her book, and delve into some harder questions like “What is your favorite ply?”
