  • Watching you spin is hypnotic. So fluid and graceful. I'm definitely going to look into this kind of spindle. Great video!

  • @raglev , thanks so much!

  • Hi, I was at the Sheep and Wool Festival this past weekend and ran into the Spanish Peacock setup. I absolutely fell in love with this particular way of spinning wool. They were sold out by the time I visited their set-up, but am looking forward to ordering a Tibetan spindle. Do you have any recommendations for an absolute beginner? I was mesmerized by your video and could not stop watching your art of hand spinning. Thanks you!!!

  • SP's are the best Tibetans out there. Contact him and order one...and practice!

  • You are quite welcome! Enjoy your spindle--it's addicitive!

  • Yup--just as fast or faster than a wheel :) And portable, too! Roy and I thank you for watching and hope you get up to speed quickly!

  • Just fabulous!

  • Thanks so much for making this video! I am impatiently awaiting the delivery of my first Tibetan.

  • @fleegle: you're as fast as spinning on a whell - and your movements are so easy and elegant. Thank you (and Roy) soooooo much for doing this video!

    I have no teacher for spinning around but this video really helps a lot!

  • I am ambidextrous. I have better luck holding the fiber in my right hand. But I hold it in my left when using a charkha. Go figure.

    I am very glad you enjoy the video--it is effortless with a bit of practice, honest!
