Looks like a drop spindle? is something I could easily make "in the wild". What I'm also kind of curious about is how well plant based fibers splice to each other. I'm thinking I can easily carve the spindle, just not so sure about using shorter fibers than the wool you are using. Nicely done. :-) ... By: flmason. on 06 May 09, 19:32:38 Nicely done. :-) Does this work as well with cotton? For example, suppose I tried to use cotton balls as a source of fiber, or puffs from? some other plants?

I've tried and tried myself, but can never get it right. When I try to draft out slubs, the thin spots just get thinner till it breaks. it'll draft out ahead or behind the slub where it's already too thin.

By: afranquemont. on 20 Oct 10, 11:42:03 It takes time and practice to get the timing and the feel right! You need a loose touch with the fibers in your fiber supply hand (the one that isn't on the spindle) and you have to keep moving just barely ahead of the twist or else it will lock up your fiber supply. It's normal for any freshly spun yarn to kink up on itself when not under tension. If it doesn't, you aren't? doing it right and your yarn won't hold together. Popping off the hook and untwisting -- tell me more? Mine doesn't thin ... By: ACDreamVillage. on 09 Oct 10, 20:07:51 Mine doesn't thin out like yours; it just twists so much and it's so thick that it twirls( or kindles, it think it's called) if you push it a tiny bit together....When I try pulling it so it thins? out, the cotton just pops off the hook and untwists...

I know very well how difficult it is to do a slow demonstration of spinning techniques. Now couple of suggestions: 1. Can you reduce intencity of the red background on subtitles? Or use bold font on these? This intence red 'eats' parts of letters, at? least for me. 2. Can you make your running subtitle run a little slower? They run too fast, once again it might be just me. Your narrative is very engaging, I love it.
