review 1: I borrowed this book from the library in order to browse through it & see if I could find anything interesting in it. I think I will actually have to buy this book, however. Judith MacKenzie has included so much valuable information, and I think I could use this book as a reference for years to come. Highly readable style, too. With all the detail, this could easily have been a dry read, but it's not at all.
review 2: Ok, this is more of an upper 3.5. It's wheel spinning focused, while I am more interested in spindling. There's great coverage of some basics, she goes into more detail about fibers than most, as well as caring for fiber and products, pest issues, and so on. Great section on art yarn. It may not be extremely in depth but it's the best I've seen so... more far, it covers a good number of techniques and seems to provide quite practical information for each of them, not merely abstract definitions. Haven't seen the dvd. This is a book I'll come back to when I'm interested in art yarn. Not sure if I'll want it as soon as I get into wheel spinning--have to take another look over it before I return it to the library. less
