SPINNING ON A TOP WHORL DROP SPINDLE: How To Get Started

Thank you for showing this, Kristin! I’ve wanted to learn to spin but knew I couldn’t justify buying a spinning wheel right off. I’m excited to try this method now.

Really liked this video! Please do a video for the following yarn spinning activities:

1. Turkish Drop Spindling.
2. Preparing handspun yarn (after you finish spinning it)

Yes please on the Turkish spindle! I'm interested in learning to spin.

Would love to see the Turkish spindle! ❤

Always more spinning videos ! :)

Fascinating! I’ve never been interested in spinning but this looks really cool. Thanks it’s inspired me 😊

As a woodworker I've always been mystified by spinning and textile craft in general. Watching this video was very educational and I'm left with a better understanding and an itch to go make some spindles. 😄

I would love videos on the next steps. Like how do you get it off the spindle, how do you ply it

What happens after you've spun your yarn onto the drop spindle? Like how would you knit with it? Would you have to do 2 so that you can ply them together to prevent them from unravelling?

This was so helpful! Thank you so much 😊 I would love to see the Turkish spindle

This is really helpful. A friend has lent me a drop spindle to try out and I'm just coming to grips with it.

love the spinning, thank you for sharing!

So cool! I just bought this exact spindle at Rhinbeck last year. But I have yet to try spinning with it.

Thanks for the refresher course Kristin. I have that same Schacht drop spindle and I just picked it back up again. And yes, please do a Turkish drop spindle tutorial.

I’m taking a drop spindle class next month at my local fiber festival. I can’t wait!

Thank you! I enjoyed that. You have peaked my interest,! Hmmmm may have to actually try this!

Really enjoying your spinning videos. Between your videos and attending my first fiber festival, I have become intrigued to try spinning. I'd love more spinning videos! Thanks for enabling more crafting mojo with your channel!

I’d 💖 more spinning videos.

I love my Turkish spindles so much! You have inspired me to get one out and get busy spinning. Thank you!!

Thank you for keeping this so simple and not over complicating it with info overload😊I would love to try spinning but have watched so many complicated videos it seemed so overwhelming. I think this helped so much, I am going to keep my eye out for a starter kit and give it a whirl😅

Makes me want to spin! Oh, the projects just keep stacking up.

That was a great video Kristin! Thank you! My spindle is calling my name❤

Thanks for the video. I'd love to know what you have made with your handspun yarn!

Can you show how to merge two or more yarns together? Thanks for the demo

I’ve always wanted to learn to spin but was always intimidated. You make it look so easy. ❤

Yes please, more spinning videos, are you still using the Electric Eel Nano? I've got one and I like it but prefer the Ashford E-Spinner.

Great demonstration and explanations. Have viewed many drop spindle videos and this has actually gotten through to my brain. Thanks

I would love more spinning videos. I’m a complete newbie!

Thanks for the lesson! I've been very interested to see how it's done! It looks like fun!

Yes please, more spinning videos!

This is spooky - I just picked up my spindles today after the longest time, and now you post this video…..🤯😆
