Author: Jo Reeve
Learn to hand spin with fibre artist Jo Reeve. Jo, the author of the very popular Ashford Book of Carding, has twenty-seven years of spinning experience and will show you how to spin from the beginning through to advanced techniques. Learn how to create unique yarns using different techniques and fibres and make five easy projects using your handspun yarn. Step by step instructions and gorgeous colour photographs will take you on a new journey of creativity.

This is what Betty Barry owner of the "Little Shop of Spinning" Fort Wayne, IN, USA wrote about the latest edition: "I just wanted to tell you how great I think the new Ashford Book of Spinning is. I just received my copies this week and am so impressed with the content, the photographs and the wonderful instructions from Jo.
I have been teaching beginning spinning classes here since I now have a "real" space. I was impressed with just how much my teaching style was influenced by Jo and the course we took from her at the Retreat last Spring. I will certainly encourage all of my beginning spinners (and more advanced ones, as well) to add this book to their fiber library."

Author: Barbara Allan
This very popular book is being reprinted and due to popular demand includes detailed instructions of the gorgeous Beagle dog. This is what Francine Denot, for the UK Journal for Weavers, Spinners and Dyers, Summer 2009, wrote about the first edition:
“In The Ashford Book of Needle Felting, painter Barbara Allen takes you on a learning journey….you’ll be able to felt small pieces, to decorate clothes with needle felted pictures, to use carded wool (or other fibres) to create wall hangings that look like paintings
and to work in three dimensions as if you were a sculptor. The explanations are precise, specific and deep…Both projects and book are of high artistic quality and the knowledge shared is not just the basics. This book is appropriate for a beginner but will also please someone who wants to explore the craft further and discover that wool can nearly be used as paint or clay.”

The Traveller with scotch tension is a great little wheel that suits most spinners. Like the Traditional you can buy "add on" kits that allow you to adapt the wheel to your specific spinning needs.
If you collect the complete set of kits, you will have a wheel that will spin almost any type of yarn you can imagine.
With the Traveller you also have the bonus of portability. The wheel has been designed to fit snuggly into the boot of your car, so it's easy to take it with you to workshops, and spin-ins.
The wheel is made from solid New Zealand Silver Beech and comes complete with 4 bobbins, threading hook, learn to spin booklet, and built in lazy kate.

The Traveller Spinning Wheel now comes with Double Treadle as standard.

Optional Accessories: Lace Flyer Kit, Basic Jumbo Flyer Unit, Quill Spindle.
