1 comments about Beads to Buckskins, Vol. 2.

1. All of Peggy Sue's books are excellently written with clear, easy to follow instructions. This volume features not only loom beading basics, but several earring patterns, and instructions for beading the elusive Peyote Stitch. Many color plates, plus lots of artwork and patterns, traditional and contemporary, plus instructions for making a buckskin shirt!

5 comments about The Spinner's Companion (Companion).

1. If you've just learned to spin, this book will enhance your library. It is very clear and complete. It explains all those terms that get thrown around.... Grist, twist, ratio... This book will help you keep it all straight.



2. Great little book to chuck in with the traveling wheel/spindle gives the pertinent information with reasonable pictures easy to use, easy to pack has become a constant companion. Coil bound with heavy card pages lays flat even outdoors.



3. I'm a brand new spinner, and this book has helped me immensely. It has helped me to better understand the parts of the wheel and what they do, how to draft, how to troubleshoot problems such as the yarn not winding onto the bobbin or overtwisting. It has a wealth of information about all aspects of spinning, from start to finish, in a concise and useful format. The way the book is constructed so you can stand it up and refer to it while spinning is also a big plus. Highly recommended!



4. One of the first spinning books I purchased, easy to use, indexed well, spiral bound and small enough to take along in my knitting/ spinning supplies.
   A reference book I am always picking up to read; pest controls,hand carding,different spinning methods, washing yarn. Also a good bibliography for further reading.



5. Used for reference, this book is helpful to technical spinners. But for a beginner, it's pretty worthless because it isn't really designed to teach. Definitely not a how-to book.

1 comments about The Craft of Hawaiian Lauhala Weaving (Kolowalu Books).

1. I used this book when I began weaving lauhala. Descriptions are accurate, illustrations profuse. Begins with a weaving process that is good for someone working alone. Moves from simple basket weaving to advanced topics, fans. Every weaver I know, here on the island of Hawaii, has a copy in their library.
