Product Description
From Library Journal
Delaney is a good teacher in love with her subject, and this book reflects her enthusiasm. A modest, "low-budget" manual, it is to this reviewer's knowledge only the second book in English on techniques for spinning yarns and thread with a handspindle. In her self-published 1997 Handspindles, Bette Hochberg included some information on spindling techniques but focused primarily on the history of different types of handspindles used throughout the world. Delaney, in contrast, has packed her small book with spindle-spinning techniques, including information on finding materials to spin, making or purchasing a handspindle, spinning and plying techniques, and finishing the yarn. Line drawings and black-and-white photos illustrate techniques for spinning with bottom-whorl, top-whorl, Navajo, and supported spindles. Teachers and scout leaders looking for interesting projects for youngsters will find the information on making your own drop spindle from wood toy wheels quite useful. Highly recommended for public libraries where demand warrants.?JZ

A Must-Have Book for Beginning Spinners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spindle Spinning: From Novice to Expert (Paperback)
Connie Delaney uses humor to introduce the beginning spinner to the joys of the drop spindle. She explains how to make and use each kind, and what kinds of yarns are made on each spindle. She also provides some history of spindle spinning, and an overview of the different fibers available to spinners. This is an excellent choice for anyone who is just starting out.

Connie is one of those multi-functional talented spinners whose fingers are rarely idle. She's written an excellent guide to this ancient craft including everything one needs to know to begin including how to build your own spindle of choice. I never realized there were so many different types of spindles and techniques! Amazing, highly recommend!!!

Excellent book for new spinners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spindle Spinning: From Novice to Expert (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for new and experienced spinners. "Spindle Spinning" not only explores spinning techniques, but looks at the history and culture of the art. For anyone interesting in fiber arts and spinning, it is more satisfying to begin with ancient art of spindle spinning, than the mechanized spinning wheel.
