Handspindles: Not Just for Demonstration Anymore
Author: Paula J. Vester
The handspindle can be more than just the interesting little oddity stuck in a spinner’s basket to show how people made yarn before the invention of the spinning wheel. This portable and versatile tool can accompany a person while running errands and waiting for family members who have appointments. The yarn produced on the handspindle can be as well-made as any the spinner might produce, and this little booklet is a good way to get started.
19 pages., b/w photos, 2002.
ISBN: n/a
