Book Reviews of The Spinner's Companion (Companion)

Book Review: reference, user friendly
Summary: 5 Stars

One of the first spinning books I purchased, easy to use, indexed well, spiral bound and small enough to take along in my knitting/ spinning supplies.
A reference book I am always picking up to read; pest controls,hand carding,different spinning methods, washing yarn. Also a good bibliography for further reading.
