Hello Naughty Knitterz! Here you’ll see how to make yarn on a top whorl drop spindle. Megan shows starting a leader yarn, the park method, the drop method, and connecting more fiber.
This is something I think I could do. My cousin has sheep that she cultivates the sheep wool and she does her own dying and spinning. Although she has one of those big sit down spinners. Forgive my ignorance of the technical terms. This is all new to me. But this video showed me a way that would be doable for me. I loved it. I am glad it is here for me to reference. thank you.
Enjoyed the video very much. I always wondered how that worked. Looks like it could become addictive though, and I already have enough addictions!
Thanks for posting this video – I have been shown how to do the drop spindle many times – but then forget as soon as I get home!
