I didn't really like the yarns, but I realize this is totally subject because I don't generally like art yarns. (

2011 This is about advanced techniques on a wheel, and therefore of little use to me at the moment. (I'm just beginning to spin with a spindle.) However, I did find it interesting to read. Some of the exercises might be useful in a few months, and I certainly will keep it in my library.

2015 Still the wheel vs spindle problem. I would really like a book on advanced spindle techiques. My other problem with this book is that I fail to see the use of many of the art yarns. Spinning is not the end of the line for me. I'll leave the old rating, although I think I would give a lower one today. (
