Happy Mothers Day, Coffee & Chat plus How To: Spin Thick & Thin ( Slub) Yarn

In today's coffee and chat Jeannine and Kris go over the schedule of classes for the next couple of weeks for long tail knits, talk about Great Lakes Fiber Show and then at 24 min in to the video Kris will demonstrate how to do a thick & thin single, also known as slub yarn.
In the video Kris talked about a book called The Spinners Book of Yarn Designs by Sarah Anderson and that on page 65 to 67 Sarah wrote a very great detailed few pages about how to do slub Yarns. Also pay attention to her slub Mantra on page 67, it's a really great thing to keep in your head when you're trying out slug yarn for the first time!
