A guide to woolcombing and spinning techniques by Peter Teal. Very useful sought after technical textbook, aimed at craft spinners who want to move up a notch to comb and spin yarn for different applications. I have been told that the book will teach "trade secrets" - techniques that are not so easy to pick up from the half-dozen youtubes currently available but as my only spinning expertise is accidental pirouettes when driving on icy roads, I cannot verify this.
