Making Your Own Yarn - Learn to Spin with a Drop Spindle: Part 2 - Tutorial - Expertly Dyed

As promised, Jen from Expertly Dyed shows you how to spin with a drop spindle. Making your own yarn is easy and fun, but there is a small learning curve. Also, practice makes perfect. :)

In this video, I talk briefly about wool preparation and the differences between them.

Tools needed:

drop spindle - can be any, top whorl or bottom whorl, though top is better for beginners
wool - wool is better to start with since the scales on the fiber grab better
scrap yarn - this will become the leader to attach the wool to the spindle
time - practice spinning for at least 15-20 minutes each day!
