And whether you’re starting out with your own or are borrowing one, our eBook will get you off on the right foot.

Note: As some of these articles are true classics, the quality of their images is not as high as we would require today. It’s still great information, so we’ve opted to share it with you despite the rougher edges. You may also note that not all the authors are in agreement on every point. As in all things spinning, there is a bounty of educated opinions. The only way to find your right one is to try it for yourself.
Master spinner Rita Buchanan approaches the craft with analysis, pragmatism, and extensive experience, and in this eBook, you'll find a wealth of practical advice and food for thought.
