I was disappointed with this DVD. It had some good information but it wasn’t presented very well. The camera was set up on the opposite side of the room facing both spinners so we saw the back of their wheels as they spun. Sometimes the camera would move in for a close up other times they didn’t. which meant that about half the time you can’t see what they are talking about or what they were doing. for example when she was showing you how to take care of the wheel she said you put a little oil here and here and here. But since she was pointing to the front of the wheel and the camera is about 15 feet away you don’t know where she is pointing to. Another time she is showing the difference between merino fiber and Iceland (I think it was) and both of them are looking at it but again the camera never moves in so we don’t get to see what she is talking about. For what I paid I really expected more so my personal feeling is this DVD is overpriced and I regret buying it.
