How to spin yarn lesson #3: drafting

How to spin yarn using a Kromski Prelude spinning wheel. In this video we will focus on how to draft the fiber and control the twist

[@diziettkett]

Thank you so much for these videos. I broke out my spinning wheel after a hiatus for several years and these were so helpful in filling in the gaps in my memory.

I've been taking a break too, learning to graft fruit trees and improve my gardening skills. I have found KZbin pretty useful in jogging my own memory! I once made a video on how to connect a lithium battery to my husband's cpap machine and I later found I had to go back and check my own library just to remember how I did it! Not sure if you have the tech to download videos, but you are most welcome to download anything you have here and save it for the future

Thank you for your videos. I just got a Komski Fantasia I’m so excited and I’ve been watching your videos learning so much. Thank you so so much.

Hey, could you link the other videos in the description? I could really benefit from all of these videos.

[@truthseekertoday2377]

Where are you? Haven't seen any recent vids.

Looks like your spinning great, but your wheel is moving?

[@ChristiDea]

Nope, it's totally not supposed to rock like that. I've figured out that it seems to be due to the drive band not being perfectly centered. I can mess with the mother a bit, but I can never seem to get it to completely stop wobbling. I just deal with it now.

[@Serenity-fu8xz]

So I got an unfinished wood spinning wheel. Would you suggest staining the wood or just putting wax on the wood or what do you suggest?

[@ChristiDea]

totally up to you. I don't think it would hinder your spinning either way. Congratulations on your new wheel!

[@Which-Craft]

re oiling: have you tried sewing machine oil? or food grade spray oil?

[@Which-Craft]

oh sorry, the spray oil probably wouldn't work over the long run

[@lawrencekilby4356]

what is your fb and website address

[@ChristiDea]

FB is facebook.com/WoolEnvy. I no longer sell anything, so I don't have an active website. Thanks for your inquiry

[@ellenhudson880]

Please fix your wheel! The wobble is maddening!

[@bbsamazon]

Your wheel is seriously whacked out of shape - it’s either out of round or not set in place right. Shouldn’t be chunking like that.
