A concise history, design and evolution of the ancient craft of spinning and the introduction of the spinning wheel.
Spinning and Spinning Wheels traces the evolution of the ancient skill of spinning, from the early spindle, through the introduction of the wool and the flax wheel, to the numerous variations of the wheel in Europe and North America. Surveying these different models, the author reveals the principles of spinning that have essentially remained the same for generations.
Providing insight into the mechanics of the U-flyer and the tools and accessories used in the craft, this volume is a timeless and valuable source of information to craftsmen, collectors and historians.
