I have gone through culture by culture learning the spinning history of Asia as in depth and as detailed as possible. My goal is to provide a quick exerpt here in an easy to access and read format that allows everyone, especially newcomers to the SCA and other such reenactment groups to have an idea of what type of spinning their persona would have done.

I hope to expland this research to include more cultures and time periods as I study farther. I also hope to have an interactive map where one can click on the map and then infomation from that place will pop up! We'll see if I can figure out how to program that... with anything resembling speed.
