This is truly a BIG book offering decades of experience in making and handling yarn. He'll change your spinning for the better, whether you agree with him or not.

Reviews:
"Amos, who has been making spinning wheels and studying handspinning for more than 40 years, has finally distilled this experience into a definitive book deserving of its title."—Library Journal

"A great and entertaining read.... informative and funny with plenty of light-hearted humor thrown in that I found refreshing with the very technical nature of the book."-Spindle and Wheel
