That lead to lots of reading and a big inspiration for me was Anne Field's Book - Spinning, Basics and Beyond where she talks about crimp and how to spin different wools with different amounts of twist based on their crimp structure. I was off and running after that.(less)

“Thus, when we plead for the gift of charity, we aren't asking for lovely feelings toward someone who bugs us or someone who has injured or wounded us. We are actually pleading for our very natures to be changed, for our character and disposition to become more and more like the Savior's, so that we literally feel as He would feel and thus do what He would do.”
