Thank you; she's my little shadow

I’d love to see the goddess style demonstrated as well. Thanks!

[@emccrea]

Thank you for your spindle videos. I do enjoy them very much. I personally don't find my Russian spindles slow. They spin very fast but not for a long time.

[@TheSipnSpin]

You're absolutely right! I'll update and note that in the description. This was a hard video, and I'm realizing I should have done a separate phang spotlight. I might still.

As a new spinner, I’ve been making my way through your videos & they’ve been a joy to watch and learn from. That ebony phang is STUNNING. Spindles are definitely functional art.

Thank you for showing off my spindles ❤

[@TheSipnSpin]

They are such a joy to spin with!

Love these videos! Hope we don’t run out of spindles to try 😊

[@drewadrawing]

Another informative video! I had no idea that these types of spindles were "related". Your videos inspired me to try supported spinning for the first time. I was intimidated but nothing disastrous happened! I'd love to see a spotlight on the Goddess spindle or one of the Phang style spindles!

[@TheSipnSpin]

I'm so glad the video helped! I fell in love with the Russian style when I spent a whole month just using that style. I leaned a lot!

What happens to the yarn if you over twist on the spindles any spindle? Thank You for sharing

[@TheSipnSpin]

Ohhh my gosh! This is such a GREAT question! Thank you for asking it! Spinning is really just building energy and then releasing the energy. So if you notice over spun bits before you wind on, you can actually move the energy around and reduce over twist. This is such a great question, I think I'll talk about it specifically in my next spotlight!
