Spinning Wheel Drive Systems Explained

[@sandymuraca]

Very helpful - thank you! As a very beginner at learning about spinning - these videos are so informative. Greatly appreciated!

[@dmbrown240]

That was very informative! Thank you. I understand the three tensions now. I’ve only used double drive so far on my Matchless.

Hey there! I have been trying to make a Irish tension wheel for my mother, now i understand better what im doing (following a build manual) haha. Thanks for the explanation =)

I was just taking notes as you were speaking, then I realized - just save the video! 😳🙄😆 I've been spinning on hand spindles since first spinning in 2008 and I spin lace weight, and I've been wanting forever to get a Minstrel but have no clue about wheels and to me it's like buying a car - there are too many of them- lol! I'm so greatfull for your video and it will greatly help me in finding the right wheel - thank you! 🤗💗🕊️🌷

I have been spinning for a long time, but I never get this in my head. I love my Babe.

I saw on another video for a double drive wheel, that they had to switch the drive band around (move the “cross”) to spin counter clockwise/ ply. My wheel is a double drive castle wheel. Do I have to do that for plying?

Very helpful, thank you so much.

Does anyone know what wood the double drive spinning wheel is made from?

[@CarrieMtn]

Thanks. I’ve been spinning on my louet s10 for years but didn’t really understand the difference. Now I do.

[@barbsfp]

Thanks, I enjoyed the info!

Where does a walking wheel fit in this? It doesn't seem to like any of these. I have one that is almost ready to use so I am curious.

[@TheWoolery]

Drive systems only apply to flyer wheels, Walking wheels are an oversized charka and don't have a flyer.

thank you

Actually, any Double drive wheel with a Scotch tension brake can do all three drive systems. I have done Irish tension on both my Minstrel and my double drive Ashford traditional. You put the doubled band over the Bobbin whorl and the scotch brake over the flyer.
