This seemed very brief in its spindle instruction section, focusing more on wheel spinning, which is unfortunate as most spinners are likely to start out with a spindle. It provided just enough info for me to understand what was needed, but in terms of "technique" I found more info on YouTube. Hopefully this will be more useful if I ever get a wheel!

Great introduction to spinning. I'll be referring back to this a great deal as I get started. This is definitely for the novice. Don't bother if you are already comfortable with your wheel.

This is an excellent introduction for those wanting to learn how to spin, covering techniques for preperation, spinning techniques on both spindle and spinning wheel, plying and how to design the type of yarn you want.

I'd forgotten I had this wonderful book! So straightforward and describes the complete process.
Of all my spinning books, this is the best one for a beginner and will be the one I lend my WI friend who wants to learn.
