Craft longer, stronger, and smarter — this pocket-sized guide is your essential toolkit for pain-free making.
Whether you're knitting, crocheting, spinning, dyeing, or weaving, crafting can take a toll on the body, this practical guide offers targeted advice to understanding the physical strains of crafting and how to prevent them — so you can keep doing what you love without discomfort or injury.

The book includes warm-ups and stretches to do before, during, and after your sessions, posture tips, guidance on tool and material choices, and strengthening exercises that build long-term resilience.
Compact enough to keep in your project bag, this book is designed to support every maker’s wellness — whether you're working on your first sweater or spinning your hundredth skein.
