Written by a Regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution, this book relays the history of spinning wheels and handspinning, from the use of primitive technology in ancient times, through the development of the spinning wheel, its use in Colonial America and up until the demise of handspinning with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Flax/linen and wool spinning is covered in depth, with cotton only mentioned. The author includes detailed information about women's work and roles, rightfully so, given her background.
