this video is very helpful! i agree with ravenbylake: i felt like your video was thorough because you weren't rushing, you were actually quite soothing! usually people rush through videos, talking & moving faster, trying to make the video shorter. but for the person trying to learn, who's already frustrated & anxious about it *or at least that's how i get* it makes me even more anxious, therefore LESS likely to succeed at learning the skill! i sound like a freak now! XD
Needs more close up of the spindle and the hands. I couldn't even tell if there was fiber on the spindle. It made it seem like you were demonstrating something you barely know.
although i agree on wishing that there were close up shots of the hands, i completely DISAGREE that it made it seem like beth isn't educated on the subject. also, you *can* actually see the yarn she's spinning, only because it's the size of a thread it's *harder* to see. but it's there, it looks like fishing line coming from her hand... or magician's thread. but beth's demeanor alone shows how comfortable she is with spinning on a russian style spindle!

Thank you! This is the first place I've seen it done slow enough to get the idea.

Great video - thanks!
Lots of good info. Hadn't thought of sitting on the floor with my support spindle before. Yoga and spindling at the same time - what could be better!
Loved your other videos too!
Thanks - Bye for now!
