We Talk Fibers REALLY Talks Fibers

Cathe Ray of Needle in a Haystack in Alameda, California, returns to Fiber Talk to discuss threads and how to use them in unusual ways.

You'll also learn to tell whether a thread is an S twist or a Z twist, learn to deconstruct threads (and why you might want to),  plus why you might want to spray your hands with a bit of vinegar, and much, much more.
