Some of Sarah Rose's favorite resources:

• Alden Amos is widely considered a spinning guru, and his "Big Book of Handspinning" (Interweave, $39.95) is an essential guide. The level of detail can be intimidating, but the knowledge is solid.

• Deb Menz's books about dyeing and color are inspiring, such as "Color Works: The Crafter's Guide to Color" (Interweave, $24.95)

• Lexis Borger is a fiber artist from California who pushes the envelope of what "yarn" looks like and what it can be. Her website is www.pluckyfluff.com.

Other helpful websites are:

• The Joy of Handspinning: www.joyofhandspinning.com/
