Before you spin the wheel, you have to get the feel.

O.K., so you have read all about it, and you may even have watched videos. Bus, as with most things, until you try, you will never truly know. There are many neat tricks of the trade packed in this thin book. It may be stretching the amount of information that can be packed in one book, as we see different spindles and different fibers; there are tricks for handling the fibers, such as using a chair back for a skein-winder. We see the different uses for carded and/or combed fiber. Well, I do not want to go through the whole book, but there are even projects that you can do with your newly spun fiber. The author Lea Raven does have a book on wheel spinning, also. ISBN-10: 0934026270
