Spinning for Softness and Speed

Rating:
Summary: Great book!
Review: Paula Simmons loved to teach spinning and you can tell it with this book. She even tells you how to hold your hands and fingers, just as if she was sitting beside you.
The pictures showing the fiber being held and drafted are great!
Since this is an older book I thought I'd list the contents:

1. What the one-handed method will accomplish
2. How to spin with one hand
3. Wool preparation and handling
4. Wheel requirements and limitations
5. The compleat spinner
6. Teaching the one-handed method
7. Projects for soft yarns

Appendix: Tips and Reminders

The appendix shows a picture of a "carding board" which is very interesting, as I have never seen one. It says it is a combination picker and carder. There are too many items in the appendix to list. The book is a jewel just for the pictures alone.
