5 out of 5 starsInteresting description of Takli spinning. Some points I wouldn't have known without reading this tutorial i.e., which end of the cotton sliver to start with. Thank you for the information.

Author of the blog Sheepwreck (sheepwreck.wordpress.com) over the years she has presented different breeds of sheep and their wool. Some breeds are quite rare like the Santa Cruz Island others such as the Corriedale ubiquitous. Ellen is also an active member of the Ravelry spinning community and goes by the moniker ellenspn.
