5.0 out of 5 stars
Rare collection, June 23, 2005
This review is from: A Book of Spinning Wheels (Paperback)
It's difficult to find published information for the general public on antique wooden textile equipment. There are literally hundreds of styles of spinning wheels, reels, and other yarn-making tools. The Book of Spinning Wheels presents a large variety of photographs accompanied by detailed information about the use and construction of each piece shown. A source like this can be especially valuable for helping to identify antique tools and figure out what pieces might be missing or broken. Recommended for spinners interested in the history of the craft, and antique dealers/shoppers who want to know what they're selling/buying. Unfortunately, it appears to be out of print and hard to acquire.
