Book Reviews of The Spinner's Companion (Companion)

Book Review: Wife loved it
Summary: 5 Stars

I do not spin, weave, knit or sew, but my wife does. I bought her this book as a Christmas gift. It now sits on top of a basket full of wool, within easy reach of the spinning wheel. I know she has used the book a number of times and has found it helpful. From what I've seen, it is a compilation of the many books that she owns. From an observers stand point, I would say it was well worth the money.It saves her time; time that would be used hunting through 10 different books to find an answer to a simple question or a solution to a problem.
