Being a Compendium of Information, Advice, and Opinion on the Noble Art & Craft

Wheel designer and maintainer of textile traditions, Alden Amos the recipient and evaluator of traditional wisdom lets no point go unexamined. 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.

A lifelong tinker and mechanic, Alden Amos built his first spinning wheels in 1962. "They were not very good wheels," he says,"being more for decoration than for use." By the early 1970's all that had changed. After several stints in the military, in 1974 he became a full time, self-employed wheel builder and production spinner. With a great interest in "olden days and olden ways" in this book he brings us his experiences as a wheel builder, a handspinner and a weaver.
