Preparing your Fibres, an excellent resource.

Over at Fiberygoodness.com I found a great article on just that, and not only does it have some great ideas and introduces things you may not have been aware of, but it points you to even more great resources.  Some are books to purchase but some are amazing free articles and pdfs available to you right now.
