Faux Livestream: How easy is longdraw spinning?

So, longdraw is my nemesis. I know that it's just a matter of practice, but there is a 'catch' or a tip that makes it easier, right? Well, after many years of 'taking a crack at it', I think I may have a quick tip that makes spinning longdraw a little easier. I'll talk about the yarn I make in another video.
I was supposed to get an internet upgrade on Friday, but they had to reschedule! These faux livestreams will have to last for another few weeks I'm afraid. Also, do you love my spooky Halloween background? :)

I am an intermediate knitter and aspiring spinner. I value your videos more than others, and adore your personality and LOVE your hair! Congratulations on your new job and bright new place! I'll keep watching. Who knows, one day I may actually make some yarn. Peace and Blessings 🌻

[@ExpertlyDyed]

Awesome, thanks for watching. My hair is always a challenge but I'm getting better at handling it as I get older. :D You'll be making yarn in no time, just jump in! Everyone's first handful of handspun are funky and weird, but equally lovely and educational.

It's mostly in the wool prep that allows nice long draw. Your technique looks great.

Glad to see you back. I am not an expert, but I do think long draw is fun, and just realized my dream of a walking wheel, so this video seems timely.

[@ExpertlyDyed]

Fab. Glad I could offer some tips that would apply to the walking wheel as well. :)

Yay for the Champaign Urbana Spinners and Weavers Guild! Come back and visit us some day.

Love the curls! Been following you since Korea when I was a new knitter. Now you're in the UK - WOW! Get better soon.

[@ExpertlyDyed]

Thanks for sticking around! I've also gone red, but it's time for a haircut again already!

[@dukeofpurl]

@@ExpertlyDyed It's all good on you! Sure appreciate your sense of humour and talents. Learned a lot. Thx

Happy to see the faux live stream. I'm spinning the needed material for my first sweater jacket. My Tour De Fleece spin did not make quite enough yarn. I would love to see some weaving with that silk you spun. I'm looking forward to when you can do actual live streams. WOW! Four miles, you will be dropping weight like mad. Have you made contact with any gamers in your area?

[@ExpertlyDyed]

I don't have enough TdF yarn for my blanket idea either! 2023 is the year I'll get it right. :) I have filmed some bits of my silk weaving but I need to get closer to the end so I can film the rest, plus my finishing method and what it's like after a wash. It's coming along, but it takes so long when I have to sit on the floor to weave. The cycling is taking care of my daily cardio, so I'm just weight lifting a few days a week. It's helping me shake off those stubborn PhD pounds. :D I actually have found some fellow nerds in my area!

Could you get some of those children's puzzle piece like foam mat thingies to cover your coffee table to work on?

[@ExpertlyDyed]

That's a great suggestion, I've got tons of cardboard and didn't consider using it for this purpose until now. I'll test it out tomorrow. :)
