The New Zealand Woolcraft Book: Spinning, Weaving And Dyeing by Constance Jackson and Judith Plowman

This book is for beginners in the ancient handcrafts of spinning, dying and weaving, and has been compiled especially for those readers who cannot have the benefit of regular personal tuition but must rely on printed words and illustrations. Includes information on the various sheep breeds and the specialized uses to which their fleeces are best suited. The different types of wheels and looms, their respective advantages and limitations for the beginner are fully discussed and illustrated, and lists of points to watch for when buying them will save the purchaser from making costly mistakes. The hand processes involved all along the way from the raw fleece to the final finishing of the woven or knitted article are described with admirable clarity and simplicity.
