Introduction to Hand Spindles......a basic primer

[@Mellisa582010]

What talent, thanks.. I am a crafts-person who would like to learn spinning just for the adventure of learning a new art. Many thanks. Give your kitty a big hug for me. Surprised she didn't try to interrupt your work more. And the woven towels were magnificent !

This was terrific in explaining the differences between the various hand spindles. Now at least I know what I am looking for. Thanks from a dead set beginner.

Thank you for this trip into far away lands and their ancient techniques which I would love to learn. I have never spun as I always bought my wool from craft shops. Now I wish to spin plarn and dog hair. So appreciate your video showing different spindles,

Thank you so much for your videos. The ones on preparing fiber fr spinning really helps me understand how to improve my spinning experience.

Thanks. I'm signed in as RallyJudge now, my other KZbin channel. Hand spindles can be expensive, you don't need the most expensive/fancy to get started, but you do need to get a good one - if not they wobble, won't spin and can cause more frustration than you need. If you can't tell, I'm VERY partial to top whorl spindles.

wow....thanks so much. loved to watch your helpful cat with my helpful cat

My science teacher told me to see the video of working of hand spindle so thanks for this video

[@loveusender8]

This was such an informative video. Thank you.

[@Thankful1998]

Thank you. I didn't know there were different kinds.

Hi! I'm brazilian and my english is very bad, so I will put in portuguese, ok? Adorei seu vídeo e é um dos meus sonhos aprender a fiar! Por aqui é muito diíicil achar um spindle, que chamamos de fuso, por ser uma arte já perdida. Sou artesã desde pequena e aprender a fiar seria ótimo para meu crochet e tricô! Um dia quem sabe consigo um fuso e aprenda tão bem quanto você!

[@joniconti9234]

Very informative, you speak and explain very well...I am just looking for a hobby and this seems interesting

[@Saphira4Q]

Thank you for showing the different types of spindles, and how to use them. Have you made or know of videos on how to start from the beginning, like how to make the strips used for drafting ? Bernadette

[@TatyanaValdaBelindaHill]

Thanks for this :)

I have a low whorl spindle like the one on your far right. but it has so little stick beneath the whorl! There's literally an inch below. I have no idea how to work it and it feels really unbalanced... I don't know how to get started with it and feel like I've been sold a useless stick >:(

[@elena17541]

Super! Thank you!!!

[@mimithemagnificent]

How long does it take to make a ball of yarn or a full ....well I don't know the name but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Obviously all balls of yarn are different sizes, but how long does it take to make an average one doing this by hand? - Thank you. :)

[@ziramichelleb8624]

I can't speak for anyone else, but I can spin and ply about 150 yards in a few hours.

[@alaskanfrogman]

by the way... I did NOT finish watching the video and will not. It's too aggravating and frustrating trying to watch you stumble your way through the demo. IT does NOT WORK!!! Not coming back, so don't care what you think of my comment.
