Turkish Spindle Winding part 1

Demonstrating how to wind yarn onto a turkish spindle, in an attempt to dispel the unchallenged "it's hard" myth.

I mostly do this for my own amusement when I am spinning a multicolored fiber, because it reminds me of the childhood craft God's Eyes I did in the early 70s with my class.

Same craft, different instrument.

The spindle you see me using for this demo is a Jenkins Meadowlark made with Bocote wood.
