LEARN TO SPIN SILK ON A TOP WHORL SPINDLE, Ruth MacGregor.
This claims to not be an in-depth text, but rather opens the door to those of us who have fallen in love with silk and want to learn a new skill through an easy to use booklet. However I found the pages to be full of helpful information. From affordable equipment suppliers to concise definitions on the forms of silk fibers, to the kinds of silk available, the author obviously knows her subject. She takes you by baby steps, through refining your technique, to making a skein, to plying. There is a section on troubleshooting, and info on local guilds of fiber friends. A very useful little booklet.  ISBN #1788343887.  38 pages, softcover, 5 1/4" x 8 1/2".  $12.00  #139168
