Recenzii
"A good introduction for those beginning to explore spinning, and a comprehensive guide to technique for experienced spindlers." — Library Journal
"I have a decent assortment of spinning books, including some excellent ones that focus on spindles, but this book blows them away." — KnittingScholar.com
"A great choice for those new to spinning and those who might feel cheated because their budget—or their living arrangements—make a wheel an impossibility." — About.com Guide to Knitting
"Be prepared to have clichéd thoughts about spindles and spinning on spindles blasted out of the water. Abby Franquemont has given spinners a encyclopedic gift on the topic of spindles. In a single volume, she will change the way you look at, think about and use...spindles." — Knitty.com
"The instructions are very well done, nothing is rushed and there are good photos of everything you need. I'd happily recommend this to a beginner." — YarnMaker

"Abby Franquemont says spinning with a spindle can get you any kind of yarn you want; a spinning wheel never needs to be in your house if you don't want it. She makes this argument -- and proves the point nicely -- in her book Respect the Spindle." - About.com
