This book is great for beginners and experienced spinners alike. You'll be able to spin much faster, more even yarns in no time. BUT don't spend crazy money to get this book used. Paula Simmons sells reprints directly from her home for $20. Her phone number and address is available on the Pat Green Carders website.
Great book!

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 accomplish2. How to spin with one hand3. Wool preparation and handling4. Wheel requirements and limitations5. The compleat spinner6. Teaching the one-handed method7. Projects for soft yarnsAppendix: Tips and RemindersThe 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.
