The spinning books are divided up over several pages, to shorten loading times.   Books are listed alphabetically by title.

ESSENTIALS OF HANDSPINNING, Mable Ross.  This book has a great amount of material in its 40 pages.  Among other things, the author shows you how to produce handspun yarn in the same sizes as commercial yarn.  This makes it possible to spin a yarn to use in a specific knitting pattern.  The book ends with a chart of spinning faults and remedies.  40 pgs.  Sc, $14.95  #139212

ESSENTIALS OF YARN DESIGN FOR HANDSPINNERS, Mabel Ross.
Would you enjoy being able to plan and spin yarn which is exactly what is required for any project you are attempting. The author describes in detail how to make yarns of many kinds - from thick, soft ones to fine gossamer, from simple yarns to the fancy fashion ones, expensive to buy but simple to make when you follow the directions in this book. 126 pages, illustrated. ISBN: 0950729213.  Spiral bound.  $34.95  #139244

FIBRE FACTS, Bette Hochberg.
Sc, $9.95

FINE WOODWORKING: ON SPINDLE TURNING, From Fine Woodworking Magazine.
No, this book is not misplaced, it does belong among the spinning books, at least part of it does, since it contains directions and excellent diagrams which take you through the process of making a Shaker style Saxony spinning wheel.  You'd need a lathe, of course, and at least access to a band saw. There was another unexpected find in this book: a short, but adequate article on making lace bobbins. 90 pages, illustrated. Sc, $9.95

Flax Craft, Virginia Handy.
A compilation of the newsletter of the same name from 1993-99, now available in a one volume publication by the Flax Institute of the U.S.  Spiral bound, 8 1/2" x 11", 120 pages, $14.95. #549001

A GUIDE TO RAISING LLAMAS, Gale Birutta.
Subtitled "Care, Showing, Breeding, Packing, Profiting," this new guide leads the llama breeder and lover through all these areas of llama husbandry with great attention to details and a contagious love for these ancient domestic creatures. The nitty gritty of a llama's daily routine are explained with charts, drawings, and photos. The section on guard llamas, full of anecdotes, will warm your heart and make you want to get a llama!  Sc, $18.95
