Rayon and tencel are the same thing. Optim is actually treated wool.

This is exactly the spinning book I needed! I want to be able to design yarns and not just be happy with whatever comes off my wheel (although don't get me wrong, that's a lot of fun too). I'm going to do some experimenting tomorrow using the ideas in this book. I'm quite excited.

This book is incredibly useful. I'm moving from the "beginning beginner" to the "advanced beginner" level, and this book was perfect for me. Loved it.

This was a fantastic help in my spinning. I've learned so much from watching Youtube videos, but I kept running into trouble in different places. What can I say, youtubers aren't always great teachers. This book covers WHY you might spin using different draw techniques for different materials. It has troubleshooting guides, and lots of guidance on overspinning and underspinning. It covers a variety of ways to do each step, comparing spindle & wheel techniques. It is a very good book.
