This is a very excellent CD! The directions for using the CD are simple. The videos are short but very clear, and so is the instruction. I have been spinning for about 2 years, and this CD made many things I had not been clear on understandable. I am so glad I purchased it! Note, this CD was made by the same folks from the Joy of Handspinning website, which is a most excellent resource for all things regarding spinning yarn.

I purchased this CD-ROM due to the lack of a fellow spinner living in 'my region' who could show me how it is done. One can only learn that much from looking at still images and reading lengthy descriptions of the technique in books. The content of the CD does not disappoint. I however do have suggestions for future improvements: add sections on various spinning wheel brands and their specific set up/adjustment of tension; and add a section on common problems, what causes them, how to avoid and correct. If this could be added, those among us who live far away from other spinners would have a truly excellent self-learning tool.
