Quite a while ago, I purchase the book
The Intentional Spinner (without DVD) by Judith MacKenzie McCuin. Ms. McCuin is widely touted as one of the foremost spinning experts in the country, so her book came highly recommended.

When doing some spinning recently, I realized (yet again) I was very unhappy with the way my plying has been going, and, sometimes, with the way my singles have been spun. I decided I really need to do something about this, so I am.

I've gotten my copy of the book out, and am thoroughly going through it. I am going to use it, coupled with
spinning videos on youtube, as an in-depth spinning class. I've got some plain wool to use for the experimentation and learning, and some fabulous alpaca, silk, yak, camel, and cashmere to work with when I've gained a little more confidence and control.
