A Handspindle Treasury: 20 years of Spinning Wisdom from Spin-Off Magazine

Rating:
Summary: A Fantastic Beginner's Book
Review: This book is great for the person who either wants to learn to spin with a drop spindle or who has just learned. There are several articles that give clear descriptions of how to use high and low whorl spindles, supported spindles and how to make your own. There are even drawings showing the spinner how to hold her/his hands to cut down on discomfort. The articles are written in a very conversational tone so that you feel like one of your friends is telling you about the craft. There are also stories by people who have used wheels for years and have recently decided to pick up a spindle. This is a great collection.
