5.0 out of 5 stars The Weaving , Spinning,and Dyeing Book...Rachel Brown, 2 Dec 2002
By A.B Brabrook (Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book started it all for me ..................it is full of different and ethnic methods of dealing with fibres from the spinning of a fibre to colouring it using Natural and unusual dyes, Weaving your item and even how to sell it to the general public !! The only negative thing I have for it ,is the end section which has nearly 100 pages of "Suppliers " mostly in America( But useful if you are American ! )If you want a general introduction to all these textile crafts then go ahead you will not be disappointed

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money!, 4 April 1999
By A Customer
If you are looking for information on spinning with a wheel - don't buy this book! It sets you up to fail. If you are a beginner, please keep looking for other resources.

5.0 out of 5 stars The closest thing I've found to a textile lover's Bible!, 3 Jul 1997
By A Customer
After having perused several books on the individual topics of weaving, spinning and dyeing, it was a complete delight to discover this magnificent tome! Rachel Brown's well-illustrated presentation of these crafts is a godsend for the new "fiberholic" and an invaluable reference for the experienced weaver or spinner. The explanations are thorough and easily understood. A must-have!
