i want to congratulate you on a great video! this is the first time i have seen this technique done! i have read about it but that was all & i couldn't imagine the technique of using a french spindle without a bowl *or without resting it on a table, or your own leg in your lap, like i do with my tahkli!* but now i have seen it with my own eyes and when i get a french spindle- because i WILL- i will know a very interesting way to use it! very eye catching in public i imagine!

...you don't use a bowl for the tip to rest in, so you can spin the spindle?

Thanks, this was exactly how I was imagining to use this style of spindle, but I wasn't sure if I was right; I'm used to using a Russian supported style.

Love it! What do you do with your singles from this Spindle?

out of all of the spindles you tried, which one is your favorite?

@agentjunieb Can't really say I have a favorite. For support spindles I love the Tabachek Russians. For drop spindles I would say the Bosworth Minis are my all time favorite spindles. For a Turkish spindle I love my Jenkins Agean spindle.

@illustratz: Nope. No bowl. A French style spindle has always been used handheld style, supported between your fingers. It's a common spindle and spinning style throughout large parts of soutern and south-eastern Europe.

Does this style create any discomfort in your wrist or hands?
Do you think it'd be appropriate for a long draw technique from rolags?

@HowToHistory You get used to the movement and build up muscle strength on the way. At first your fingers tire easily but once you've practiced a bit it gets easier. With this spinning style long draw is the default method. Rolags would probably work fabulous with this style of spinning.
