yearning to ...

A monthly column by

Melissa Ludden Hankens

&

Stephanie Flynn Sokolov

 

With Issue 18 of Yearning to Weave, we're evolving our column to include spinning tips and hints. Much like Yearning to Weave, Yearning to Spin is designed to inspire spinners to develop their spinning technique. Stephanie Flynn Sokolov is an enthusiastic and creative spinner. We're happy to have her contributing to our monthly Yearning to … columns. Stephanie will alternate months with Melissa.
