I bought the pans at Walmart, and like I said, they are not strictly speaking bread pans, but I do like them very much, and more wide than tall seems good. Also, the pans I was using are cast iron. These glass pans brown the bottom of the loaves just right. Some people say to cook at a lower temp in glass, but I don't do that.loves2spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072576848451758173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666117209180392269.post-81908156005862296182015-03-04T16:58:36.337-05:002015-03-04T16:58:36.337-05:00Thank you for the book info- I will get a copy at ...Thank you for the book info- I will get a copy at that price! I am with Carol about you having classes- haha! I am a sort of self taught knitter/ crocheter so I would love to take it to the next level! I love your new bread pans! Does it help them be more wide than tall?

Do look online for a shop in your area where you could learn to spin.loves2spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072576848451758173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666117209180392269.post-4847382650754312212015-03-03T11:17:20.721-05:002015-03-03T11:17:20.721-05:00Very cool.

My sister's mother in law had sheep that she spun the wool from and then weaved into tablecloths, place mats and other lovely items. I was working then and did not have time to drive two hours away to learn from her, but wish I had. She is now deceased. I learn better by doing and asking lots of questions as I like in-person lessons. Please do post some pictures of some of your projects and your spinning wheel too so I can enjoy and live precariously through you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082017257136440753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666117209180392269.post-72915492681497434522015-03-02T21:36:32.497-05:002015-03-02T21:36:32.497-05:00How exciting!

You can get a copy on Amazon.com for 1 cent plus the $3.99 shipping: http://www.amazon.com/Joy-Spinning-Fireside-Book/dp/0671208594/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1425350038&sr=1-1&keywords=The+joy+of+spinning It's a wonderful book. It does not teach you how to use a hand spindle, but that is what YouTube is for. ;) When I learned, it was from a new friend, many years ago. But the book will tell you basics about how to process fleece and how to spin. There are other books, of course, but I've always liked that one. It also has information about doing natural dyeing. Good luck, and I wish you lived next door, I could teach you how so easily!loves2spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072576848451758173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666117209180392269.post-82654319474819836172015-03-02T16:47:13.704-05:002015-03-02T16:47:13.704-05:00OOH I would love to learn to spin!
