Listen to the Wool | Josefin Waltin & Dan Waltin
Discover the meditative beauty of working with wool in Listen to the Wool: A Why-to Guide for Joyful Spinning by Josefin Waltin, with photography by Dan Waltin. This inspiring book goes beyond the mechanics of spinning to explore the deeper connection between spinner and fibre—inviting you to slow down, tune in, and truly listen to the wool. Whether you’re a curious beginner or an experienced spinner, this is a heartfelt companion that encourages creativity, mindfulness, and joy in every twist of the yarn.
Through practical guidance and thoughtful reflection, Josefin Waltin takes you on a journey from fleece to finished yarn, helping you understand not just how to spin, but why it matters. You’ll learn to recognise the story each fleece holds, discover techniques for preparing and spinning different types of wool, and explore the emotional and sensory aspects of the craft. Every exercise is designed to deepen your awareness and bring intention to your spinning process, transforming it into an act of creativity and connection.
Beautifully photographed by Dan Waltin, this book captures the textures, colours, and spirit of the wool itself. Listen to the Wool invites you to rediscover the joy of mindful making—where the rhythm of the wheel becomes a meditation, and each skein tells a story of patience, care, and gratitude.
