Review: A good book for beginners - Bought as a gift but the recipient was very happy. Supposedly its a nice simple book, which helped them get started quickly.
Review: Make art yarns on a spindle! - If you are already comfortable with your spindles, this book has instructions for more complex yarns such as core-spun yarns, spinning from locks etc. Thus far, it's the ONLY book I have found that gives instructions for these type of yarns for a spindle, not a spinning wheel where the technique would be quite different. However, some photos could be clearer, or there could be more of them (i.e. breaking down steps intp smaller pieces). If you are a complete novice, there is still much useful content in this book, but it wouldn't be my top pick for getting started--try Respect The Spindle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tells you why you have to do stuff
*by M***H on 28 December 2022*

An excellent introduction to spinning with a drop spindle. Unlike some authors who are didactic with methodology you are given options in things like how to hold a spindle to suit you. The why of following procedures is explained which led to a couple of lightbulb moments and explained why instructions from other authors resulted in a messy failure. Beautiful photography of each stage of taking fibre from fleece to yarn encourages you to start from scratch rather than relying on processed rolags. Lots of practical tips and the odd warning made this such a great read that I look forward, with confidence, to accepting next time my local farmer offers a fleece
