Dennis Mountjoy wrote My wife just acquired a spinning wheel this weekend at an estate auction. Now she wants to learn to use it properly.
Spinners are always happy to help new spinners learn the craft.
While the book deals specifically with the Ashford wheels, the techniques are universal. I would be happy to try to answer questions and help your wife get started. I have been spinning for more than 20 years and recently have found demonstration spining at rendezvous a lot of fun. Let me know.
