  • I love how clearly you demonstrate this technique, it's surprising hard to explain long draw in a way that doesn't overly complicate the matter ;)

  • Thank you, great demonstraton!

  • I've been spinning for over three years now and it seems my yarn has improved in texture but has also gotten harder. I took a look at some of the early yarn I've spun and it seems softer. I think I spin a semi-worsted short back draw. I read "Spinning for Softness & Speed and produced some extreme thick & thin yarn that had to be plied to be useful. Then I gave up on woollen spinning.

    I watched this video and last night created some soft, even yarn that I enjoyed spinning. Kudos to you!

  • Great video! I'm a new spinner - this is so helpful!

  • "hold the fiber as if it were a little baby bird"

    Great advice! Thank you, you're video has been a huge help.

  • Very helpful! Thank you for making this!

  • This is very informative. Perhaps you could make a DVD video, you teach well and there is always more room on my shelf. Maybe try contacting interweave and see what they would say.

  • Just got my first wheel! I drop spindle so I have some experience, but I wasn't sure how to adapt it to the wheel. Until I saw your video! Thank you so much.

  • Yes, excellent tutorial and I like the spinningwheel!!! Which wheel is it??

  • Now, granted, I've touched a spinning wheel exactly twice in my life, but I'm amazed at how effortless this looks! I have a lot of practicing to do, I think! Thanks for posting this!
