1981 written, published 2021. Images dated, difficult to see.
Great information, unfortunately more dated than expected.

The Whole Craft of Spinning by Carol Kroll...Worth a Look
The Whole Craft of Spinning by Carol Kroll. Highlights the history of spinning and spinning processes. Interesting, but not informative enough for a novice spinner.

I really found this very enlightening
I really enjoyed this book. As some one who has recently had a number of health scares which have left me indoors for long spells I was able to use the information in this booklet to help begin a hobby that under other circumstances I would never in a million years have even thought of.

Spinning.
I liked some of the book but I livein the UK and a lot of the things are only in America. I need to get stuff but it is far too expensive to import from America. I find the same about Cookery Books what the hell is Cilento???????

Carol Kroll's "The Whole Craft of Spinning" (1981) is comprehensive in its delivery of historical context and practical information for the beginner and researcher. Includes clear, labelled diagrams and a number of interesting photos. This is especially valuable to those who are curious to know more about the origins and evolution of the various forms of spinning with variety of materials used during the spinning process.

Auf meiner Suche nach Lesefutter für Spinner bin ich über dieses Buch gestolpert und habe es für den günstigen Preis gekauft. Alles in allem behandelt die Autorin alle Themen rund um's Spinnen und die Wollverarbeitung, man merkt aber deutlich zum einen das Alter es Buches und zum anderen geht die Autorin wohl davon aus, dass es nicht möglich ist, Spinnfasern auch schon verarbeitet, also gewaschen und gekämmt, zu erhalten. Sie gibt auch Tipps für den Kauf eines Spinnrades und anderer Wollverarbeitungsgeräte. Dies klingt in dem Buch alles sehr umständlich, was wohl auch auf das Alter zurück zu führen ist. Sehr negativ ist mir aufgefallen, dass die wenigen in dem Buch vorhandenen Bilder vom eReader nicht richtig dargestellt werden können und dass die zugehörigen Bildunterschriften mal eben auf drei Seiten verteilt sind. Alles in allem ist das Buch für diesen Preis durchaus eine Anschaffung wert, wenn auch eher aus nostalgischen Gründen, da der Inhalt, was die Beschaffung der Arbeitsmaterialien, wie Spinnrad, Handkarden, Kardiermaschine, Wollkämme etc. sowie die Möglichkeiten an Wolle und andere Fasern zu gelangen inzwischen schon SEHR überholt ist.
