Great reference book. Indispensable!

It goes into great detail about many breeds of sheep and the aspects of their wool.

Since I am wanting to get my own flock of sheep in the near future, I wanted to find a book that compared the different breeds, letting me know which breeds of sheep had what type of wool. This was just what I was looking for.

It's great because, after I narrow down my favorite types of wool to spin, I can use this book to find a comparable sheep...more

Great reference book for handspinners who enjoy wool. All different types of wool are examined, along with spinning tips. Really indispensable with the amount of different wools available.

This has allowed me to branch out into different wool breeds that were otherwise too intimidating to try.

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.
