In the Author's Words....
Alden Amos Big Book of Handspinning
"Spinning, like every other skill, develops from a mixture of knowledge
and experience. The knowledge is won through study; the experience,
through application. Knowledge may be found in books, but experience comes
only through practice." (introduction)
