    🌀 Hand-spinning instructor and fiber artist Twist Turner is teaching an advanced spinning workshop when the workshop's star student—a notorious fiber hoarder with a competitive streak—is found dead in her studio, tangled in a massive pile of art yarn with suspicious plying patterns. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Twist notices the yarn has been deliberately over-spun and the victim's spinning journal contains coded notes about fiber fraud. With her workshop canceled and the spinning community in a twist, Twist must draft her way to the truth. Assisted by her spinning circle and the handsome textile engineer analyzing twist angles, Twist uncovers a scheme involving fiber substitution, counterfeit exotic blends, and a sophisticated operation diluting luxury fibers with ordinary wool. From suspicious twist consistency that reveals multiple spinners to fiber preparations that don't match the stated materials, every plied strand tells a story. But when Twist discovers the victim was systematically sabotaging other spinners' work to win competitions, she realizes the killer is protecting creative integrity more valuable than any hand-spun skein. With the regional fiber competition approaching and the real fiber fraudster still spinning lies, Twist must ply together the evidence before her own reputation gets permanently wound up in the scandal.
