I am a professor of ancient history and am teaching a course right now on women in the ancient world. We're talking about women's work in the ancient period, and I am excited to use this video to show students the process of turning wool into yarn and demonstrate how women throughout the ages have spent much of their time! Thank you for this lovely tutorial.

[@harshvardhansinghr]

India is becoming a super power but I had seen old men in my village doing the same thing. I am talking about 1990s.

[@sb4040]

Venus de Milo was spinning yarn before her arms were broken off.

[@okaminess]

Tried it today. Beginner. It is time consuming. But necessary. They kept everyone clothed. Now I know why many moms would threw a fit if their kids ruined their clothes they made for them. It takes a long time just to come up with a presentable yarn.

I’ve not used my spindle in years and coming across a straight forward introduction was perfect and your voice just made it all the lovelier. Thank you.

[@fanciberndt1047]

I could listen to your voice all day. so soothing. Lol. Bedtime stories for knitters and spinners. :)

+Fanci Berndt Agreed! So lovely and relaxing.

[@singe0diabolique]

+Fanci Berndt I love the way she says, "Hook."

[@GM-qq1wi]

That's creepy as fuck.

[@priyanka1902]

+Fanci Berndt Yeah... Wish the world could go back to those times. All people involved in traditional works have sucha calm voice and beautiful hearts!

Yes i just want to knit crochet and sip tea with her😍😌

[@tammybulger1039]

I love the tutorial. I was just curious of drop spindle, but after seeing this I want to purchase one now. I love her video, her voice beautiful and very calming. She made it very simple to understand. Love to find more of her tutorials!!!!

[@nicolewyatt9060]

Thank u. Ur so calm and old school. Its nice to feel like someone who is part of this huge bustling city, like me, can calm it down and learn to spin some wool with someone as easy going and soothing as u. I needed this today. Thank u.. i came to learn a spindle but i leave with the unwind THAT I NEEDED, today

The home! the accent! The artist! The craft! ThRob Roy blanket! Thank you for a wonderful video.

[@shelbytaylor4301]

I'm reading a book where the protagonist is using a drop spindle and I didn't even know what the heck a drop spindle was. Now I know and I can picture what is happening much clearer. Thanks for the video.

[@Ibbits2]

Did the protagonist subsequently have a charming Scottish accent and disarmingly gentle demeanor after watching this video?

[@LakeGael]

Same.

[@boo_blue_boo9229]

Was it sandry from the circle of magic series? If so, same

[@imogenclaire1069]

Are you talking about Sandry?

[@stingraystray_ing]

I love how everyone here knows who it is

[@dethcreeper69]

What a calm and relaxing manner you have to teach. I've often thought about making my own yarn. Apart from dropping the spindle it seems to be a good therapy session. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@craftsandnails]

i have 400g of colored core wool that a dishonest store sold me as good quality wool for needle felting...and i didnt know what to do until i saw this...omg thank you!!! i will make mine :D but im right handed so i guess will hold the wool with this hand God bless you!! Mexico City.

[@IAmSam1952]

Thank you for this video!!! My husband made me a drop spindle and now I'm spinning plarn. I've started a hand bag and can't wait to finish it!!! Again, thank you!!!

Thank you for your great video! Now I understand how spinning wheel can produce threads.

[@stellaluna6421]

I really appreciate that you went into concept before technique! It was useful to see what spinning looked like before talking about which parts of setup mattered. Lovely video!

[@michelehaderer8069]

What a great tutorial! I learned more in this video than I did reading an entire book on the subject! Thanks so much!

[@fibercrafts_rcool9074]

So i joined a fb group on spinning and everyone keeps talking about "park n drafting" and all these terms and making it seem so confusing i didn't even want to actually try. Your video is so straightforward im gonna give it a go. I'll let you know if i fail lol

Nice these old hand crafts... will come back into use again as the world becomes natural and holistic.

I have never been interested in spinning, but always wondered how it worked. Now I think I'd like to give it a try!

This is the absolute best video I've yet seen on the subject! Of course I'm going to try it now and wind up with a mess, but great video nonetheless!

[@earllutz2663]

Thank you for this tutorial. I just purchased a drop spinal, with the hook, on the opposite end of the dowel. I have seen other videos, teaching it this way. Your way makes more sense to me & I am changing my hook & doing it your way. Thank you very much !!!

[@abcstardust]

Very good Video! Easy to follow instructions! Thank you so much! You’re truly a flower

[@EricAlder]

Finally! A simple drop spindle tutorial that leaves out all the cluttering terminology and unnecessary steps.

[@helenf4214]

I use a low whirl spindle too. I love it. But it always stuns me that people get the spindle going by twisting the shaft. I have a 90 gm disc on mine..quite large i realise now..it was my first. And i just give the disc a flick. Lot easier and you dont interfere with the spun yarn.yes i leave a small gap on the shaft at the top so i can use it to wind the thread on. But using the disc to spin means i can load up that shaft to the max. Also, my shaft is removeable. Yours?? Thus i have one disc and lots of shafts for a variety of colours and fibres in progress. Lovely video. I hope lots of people now want to take up spinning. I love telling people my mittens were walking around a short while ago😄

[@jnahnet]

Thank you so much, I've been struggling with finger spinning a cloud of qiviut , this is a much better way!

[@imogenclaire1069]

This is so useful to me because there's a really amazing book called Sandry's Book where the main character uses a drop spindle and I had no idea how to envision what she was doing before this :)

[@pendelschabe]

Lol reading that series is what got me into spinning yarn as a hobby.

[@imogenclaire1069]

@@pendelschabe that’s cool! i really want to learn how to actually spin yarn but i don’t have a spindle

[@pendelschabe]

@@imogenclaire1069 don’t let that hold you back! You can find spindles on Amazon pretty easily. Or, and here’s the real tea, they’re actually pretty easy to make (and super cheap, too!). You’ll need three things: 1) a wooden dowel 2) a metal hook. The kind you can screw into the end of the dowel 3) some kind of disc object. Like a wooden disk, or a round cabinet handle For the style in the video, you want to drill a hole in the disc, insert the dowel through the hole, and secure it a few inches from the bottom of the dowel (you could probably use wood glue, or some other kind of glue, to secure it.). Actually, you might not need to drill anything. Just glue it to the bottom of the dowel. And screw the hook into the top part of the dowel. This would be a “bottom whorl” spindle. Or, you can glue your disc to the top of the dowel, and then screw the hook into the top of that, an you’ll end up with a “top whorl” spindle. That’s the kind I have. The disc is just a cabinet handle, so it’s not very big and doesn’t add a lot of weight. It’s harder to keep spinning, but I just use the “park” method (check it out), and everything works out just fine. As far as fiber, I just got mine off of Amazon. You can find fiber websites, too. I think fiberparadise was an online place you could get all kinds of fibers from. Anyways, happy spinning!

[@imogenclaire1069]

What i need to know is...Can we use other materials for weaving like this? such as cotton and animal hair?

[@officerbutton9532]

skywriter1962 there are tutorials online for making drop spindles. It's really quite easy.

You can spin any kind of fiber. Not all of them make yarn quite as easily, but it can theoretically be done.

[@alwillkill]

I keep finding the lead spindle whorls while metal detecting and have often wondered how the process worked.Great video.i imagine the whorls are dropped or fall off during transit from place to place or would it be common for women of the time to do this in the field?I know they played an important role because of the things I find(thimbles, jewellery,hem weights ,spoons...no vending machines in them days;-).Great stuff.
