This is a reference book, pure and simple. An amazing wonderful reference book. It tells you pretty much anything you want to know about different types of wool and why they are different. A must for wool spinners.
incredibly thorough book with information on wool breeds and spinning that you won't find anywhere else.
Haven't read it, just want to keep it listed as a reference book.
