Can you do it in slow motion? I don't understand how to sling is capturing the wool.

Dear Dream Spinner~ I could watch you all day long :) The more I read about the art of spinning the more I find to do ;)
Right now that is a single treadle Ashford, and a home made turkish drop spindle. Your sling blade is next:) Great video!

Wanted to add that this video shows an early prototype model. Current ©Sling-Blades come with thicker 1/2" diam. oak handles & permanently attached wooden "cap". The Blade no longer has that odd-looking short end to it either. Just made it faster - easier & even more fun to spin painlessly for hours & hours! The faster you SLING the BLADE - the EASIER & less work it becomes - because the spin action feeds upon itself by simple Laws of INERTIA. Enjoy!

The "Blade" doesn't capture the fiber. Going round & round each time puts ONE "twist" into the fibers.The faster you SLING the "Blade" in tiny circular motions - the FASTER you spin TWIST into the the fiber- making it hold onto itself by compressing & knitting the twisted fibers into yarn. MORE twist = TIGHTER spun yarn - LESS Twist = mean softer airier yarn.I STOP slinging the BLADE when I have ENOUGH twist in that yard or so of yarn. Wind it on the Blade & Spin more fiber into yarn. SIMPLE !

It is by his kind permission - "The Selkie" as performed by Aryeh Frankfurter - aka - "LionHarp Music" & now also performing with partner Celtic Harpist, Lisa Lynne Franco together as - "Two Worlds One" - Google BOTH of them - You won't be disappointed!

I just bought one of these a couple weeks ago. This lady is a genius, I love this invention. She is so right it is so easy and way less stressful for me than drop spindles. I can't say enough good things about it. I am so happy I stumbled across it.
