Review of 'Respect the spindle' on 'Goodreads'

Very helpful for new spinners who are a bit insecure about trying spinning. Loved the science part, it really makes you understand how complex that tiny spindle really is. Beautiful inspirational photos of yarn being spun. Loved photos of the author herself spinning, instead of some model. Looking at it daily at this point!

My second spinning project is leaps beyond my first in terms of quality and my level of confidence and ease spinning - thanks to this book, it's the only real training I've had, other than the lady at the fiber festival demonstrating for literally 20 seconds.

Thanks for writing this book, Abby.
