Supported Spinning Demonstration

Sandy W. explains a spinning
technique that she has tried since the
Maggie Casey weekend in September

During the Show and Tell segment of the Saturday Guild meeting, Sandy W. explained a spinning technique that she has been enjoying: supported spinning. She said that anything can be used to support the spindle, but that she has found that her favorite support has an enamel center which allows her to spin more quickly.

Sandy's favorite "support" has an enamel
center which allows her to spin faster. 

The yarn produced by this technique is very fine.

Sandy did a quick demonstration of the supported spinning technique for the members. Click on the center of the video to see this interesting technique.
