Spinning and Spinning Wheels by Eliza Leadbeater
Traces the evolution of the ancient skill of spinning, from the early spindle, through the introduction of the wool and the flax wheel, to the numerous variations of the wheel in Europe and North America. This work surveys these different models and explains the principles of spinning that have remained the same for generations.
