Spinning Videos for Roxanne!!!

Greetings Roxanne!!!! I do believe you are one of my most devoted readers and I find your comments (I do wish you would allow me to make them publishable on the site) to be very wonderful and educating. I believe others would be very interested in what you have to say as you do happen to have tons of indispensable knowledge about the fiber arts!!

Anyway, as you've requested, I have posted some videos of me spinning on my various wheels and a spindle. I hope these videos help you see that when you are on your journey to become a more experienced spinner, you really can spin on any kind and type of wheel, including spindles (with practice of course).

In the first pic and movie, I'm spinning tangerine wool on the older wheel:

  

In the second pic & movie, I'm spinning Harley's sheddings from last year. Harley is a very large St. Bernard dog that has to weigh in at 250 pounds and sheds the most luxurious and softest fiber I've ever spun. His hair is so soft it would make an Alpaca cry!

   

In the third pic & movie, I'm spinning a cotton hemp blend on a Babe wheel. I split the roving into 4 sections, coil it around my hand and spin from that.

 

In the last pic & movie, I'm spindle spinning Kool-Aid dyed silk hankies on a polymer clay spindles made by Ze Duster

 

Please enjoy and feel free to leave comments!!!
