Book Signing with Deborah Held – The Spinner’s Blending Board Bible

Come meet author Debbie Held and celebrate the launch of her new book, The Spinner’s Blending Board Bible, where she reveals innovative techniques for transforming your fiber preparation into a creative adventure!

As more and more spinners delve into fiber preparation for intentional spinning, the blending board has become more popular than ever before. It’s space-efficient, lightweight, and far less costly than investing in expensive blending tools and machinery (Held even includes instructions for making your own budget-friendly DIY board). While most spinners know that the blending board makes lovely rolags, few know the many other ways it can be used in fiber preparation practices.

In The Spinner’s Blending Board Bible, lauded spinning teacher and writer Deborah Held explains how to use a blending board to its fullest capacity. Step by step, she reveals secrets for maximizing the board’s carding and blending properties, providing an as-yet untapped level of know-how for putting the blending board to use in color management, combining fibers and mix-ins, and for creating specific yarn structures in spinning along the woolen and worsted continuum. Beginners and advanced spinners alike will find plenty to learn from her beautiful and instructive photos of fiber, detailed explanations of techniques, and numerous blending “recipes.”
