5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING little book will answer all your questions without lots of extra talking

This is an amazing book. I bought it when I was learning to spin and I wanted to know more about the different adjustments on a spinning wheel. This book is great! It has tons of details, explained very succinctly and clearly. You can read through it quickly, but I also find myself referring to it as a more intermediate spinner to understand the how-whys of different adjustments. LOVE this book, should be a must-own for anyone getting started with spinning!

I love that this book talks about yarn, how it's made, so how it reacts. I'm learning to spin, but this also helps me understand why certain yarns react they way they do when knitted. The pictures are even great on kindle and it's very informative. Drafting methods, why things work or don't; it's all great. four stars only because I have no other books to compare it to.

I started spinning only a month or so ago, when I got an electric wheel, and soon decided to buy a full-size wheel. This little book has helped me understand what to look for in a wheel as well as helping me hone my rudimentary skills.

This is a good basic go to paperback book if you are new to spinning. I keep it handy to refer to when I need a quick answer to a question I might have. I would recommend it to someone who is looking to get a wheel for a simple reference for making yarn.

I was teaching myself to spin during lockdown so even though the book is now easy to follow I struggled a bit in the beginning.. I got there though and have spun miles of yarn. Use the bok in small chunks. It'll come
