How many times have people watched you sit at your wheel and asked ridiculous questions?_ Spinning Wheel Primer _will come to your rescue.

Do people ask, "How does that thing work? Why are you pulling that yarn out and turning it into fuzz?" Well, maybe you don’t have easy answers, because the mechanics and physics of spinning are a little bit tricky. Easy to do, hard to explain. With simple explanations and elegantly clear illustrations, Spinning Wheel Primer (rhymes with simmer) will help you wax poetic about pulleys and drive wheels and scotch tension, footmen and mothers of all. This little classic has been around for more than forty years, and rightly so. You should have it.
