Today I share a video of a lady showing others how to spin. Though I don’t speak Russian and the auto-translated captions aren’t quite up to the mark, I the close-ups of new spinners learning to twirl the spindle are still valuable.

really interesting
Interesting video! She spins quite thick with these spindles, and she uses a double half hitch to secure the wool…. maybe if I tried this, too, I’d eventually succeed with my whorl-less spindle….
Thanks for posting!
