Are you interested in drop spindles or spinning wheel?

You can find some info on both in this file in the TEXTILE ARTS  
section of the Florilegium as well as some book recommendations.

spinning-msg      (52K)  6/23/00    Spinning wheels, spindles.  
techniques.

For info on spinning wheels, I highly recommend this book. It goes  
into the history of spinning wheels and describes the different types  
of wheels and when they came info use:

Spinning Wheels, Spinners and Spinning
