I looked for Ashford book of Spinning. An odd experience that, I found
it it from $4 (bad condition) to $240 (that must come with the spinning
wheel, which is what the book is for). Thanks Farml.


Just because it is has "The Ashford" in the title, don't make the mistake of
thinking that the info it contains is applicable only to the Ashford wheels
or drop spindles. It's a good book as is the one on weaving.

Have you seen http://www.zombo.com/ ? Wait for the opening screen to
fade out.


What does it do? All I got was the "welcome to Zombo com" verbal message
and then 2 tiny options which, when I tried to select either of them, just
resulted in a rerun of the verbal message.


I'm sure that the "Ashford book of Spinning" is a good book but it was
my impression that it was written with an Ashford spinning wheel in
mind. The book, paperback, used, averaged $30 - $40 and the local
library doesn't have a copy. I looked into the price of an Ashford
spinning wheel and no web site would quote one. At that point I lost
interest.

You can thank JoeSB for turning me on to zombo.com. Pretty neat site
isn't it?
