From the back of the book - Hand spinning of wool and fibres is one of the oldest and most basic of crafts, and every aspect is covered in this thoroughly practical book. Beginning with the choice of fleece, the preparation, spindle and wheel spinning and how to produce different yarns, it then discusses spinning with animal and vegetable fibres and the various techniques that are required. A final section is a review of the development of spinning techniques through the ages and advice on buying a spinning wheel and making simple tools and equipment.168 pages, 130 black and white photographs, 1 line illustration 5 colour photographs
