Thanks for the video - it was VERY helpful! I've been wanting to get a Turkish spindle (the Turkish Delight has captured my heart), but was worried it might be too heavy to spin fine laceweight yarns. Having seen your video, the penny dropped that I can use the Turkish Delight as a support spindle - yeah, I'm a little slow sometimes...

I have family who live next door to people who farm cotton. Maybe I'll get them to get me some cotton to spin!

I'm glad to see someone using a turkish spindle - I couldn't picture what over 2 under 1 meant before your video. Also- glad to see you using cotton because I believe that's what I'll be learning on. Thanks for making this. Hope you make more video demos with the turkish drop spindle.

Thanks Susan!
imho it's the most practical way to wind on to a Turkish.
Yesterday I made a video showing how I wind on for I often get asked how I do it. Still need to edit the video and upload...
Cotton is intimidating in the beginning. Just take it slow and support the spindle on a smooth surface.
