Great idea! Last fall, I have made them from the stems of the bamboo in my garden, works very well also!

Try a pvc pipe cutter . The squeeze ones . Put the pen blank inside the jaws and cut it that way ?

Thank you for this video. My yarn is working out perfectly now.

Класс! Попробую себе сделать такую прялку!!!!

can't believe how creative people gotten in the past

I like this idea cause weaving can get expensive just getting the essentials lol

Love that design on your spinning device.Beautiful

is this like tablet weaving?

I don’t think you are using this correctly, but you are getting “yarn”.

Fantastic thank you ❤

❤❤❤

Eleven years later I have stumbled upon this. What a lovely little treasure of a moment!

I am wondering how you feel about your Bloom loom now as some time has passed? I, too, am enchanted with Matteo Salusso’s looms. Hard to find information about either of these looms on the web…

Great video, very easy to follow!

I luv this method! Simple! Thx❤

promo sm 😚

Am I too ditzy?😢 This doesn't work! It just wraps on and off, no twists are ever made.

Thanks for sharing how you do the muzzle💖 How many rows did you do on the part you call bean bag?

These are darling! I’m a big gnome fan. This is a must on my to do list. Thank you so much. 😊

Thank you!

Why don't you use the notched top of the paddle were you're supposed to hook the fibre to be spun?

So cute! Thank you so much

This month I am out of extra money, so buying pick up sticks will have to wait. I see you used paint sticks. Brilliant idea!

Thank you so much for this! I'm reading 'respect the spindle' by Abby Franquemont, and she tried to show a picture tutorial of how to spin yarn using only a stick, but I just couldn't picture it. You've explained it so clearly here and really made it easy to understtand! You're an excellent teacher, I hope you're doing well in the 8 years since you shared this. Thank you again.

That looks even easier than a drop spindle!

This is so great!!

So cool, right now I'm sitting here making tapestry bobbins out of popsicle sticks! 😄🤗 Oh yeah- where did you get the pen bodies from?

I am a pretty new daily needle felter, never accomplished spining wool (tried once on a spindle when was a teen in a forest group, didn’t get anywhere, the wool kept snapping and snapping) and I wondered if I could spin yarn with by tying the wool to a pointy crystal instead of a spindle, surprisingly it just worked! Just than I searched to see how other people do spin yarn with simple tools, that seems to be more consistent from the to strands of yarn I made (I made them for felting so I don’t really mind the inconsistency, want to make some greem foliage with it so it works good) but I am going to try this out, it is awesome that you don’t need any equipment for spinning! How fun!

Thank you, as a new weaver all this information helps and different fibres act so differently.

Sounds like a ChacChac....

Thank you.

This is beautiful!

This can't be much different than the rigid heddle loom stand.

Bought one of thesse hoping to learn about weaving. I've never done it before. Unfortunately there's very little in the way of English instructions, and my Japanese is no match for the instruction booklet.

Thank you thank you thank you. I was wondering why I had a wonky fell line, makes perfect sense now!

This is a great idea

Thanks

Exclt, fast, informative, enjoyable!

Absolutely stunning!!

Super, glad it helps!

Brilliant! I just bought this little loom and was wondering how to do a double width weave so this has been really useful. Many thanks for showing this technique so clearly.

This, in conjunction with the Kromskina.com written tutorial, makes me think I can do this.

Beautifully played! Thank you for sharing your gift! 💕✨

That is cool you made this specifically for Towel Day. Do you remember what size dent do you have to use with the Sugar n Cream (DK weight?) yarn?

Thanks, very cool! I got some boat shuttles and bobbins at an estate sale, but one boat shuttle was just a little small and didn't have the right size bobbin, so now I can make them!

We had 3 goofies. My wife found that it was easiest to groom them outside. I built a large heavy duty table for grooming outside. The local birds loved the fur for their nests. My wife and all three newfs died from tick bites so, I have not gotten a dog since.

Hi! Please, can you give me the link where I can buy these machines?

Didn't even talk and made my favourite tutorial on this, thanks!
