Excellent book about spindle spinning for beginners.
LibraryThing member Janientrelac
Superb book, not just about spindles and creating yarn by spindling but about the cultural background and history, what wheels change about the culture. Something like the differance between swords and guns.
Don't think I will ever make the effort to learn to use a spindle well, but at least I know

Obviously, I wouldn't have bought this if I didn't want to spin, but it has intensified that desire. Now to find my spindle - or a new one and try it out. I'll update when I know if it took.

I worked back and forth between this book and the DVD by the same name to teach myself drop spindling at home. It worked pretty well. By the time I got to my local weaver's guild I had only a few flaws that needed to be worked out by a live spinner's observations and comments.
