A Support Spindle Tutorial
October 21st, 2008 by Sadia
Years ago, back in my Compuserve Spinners & Weavers days, I wrote up a little tutorial that came about when I was helping someone online try to use their Support Spindle. And for years, the tutorial sat on my computer, until Ted asked me to share it last year. This prompted me to give it a small tweaking and redo as a pdf. And it sat again, for nearly a year.
I’m finally sharing it with those of you who just need a little extra printout to refer to. When I get around to getting a camera with sound, I’ll do up a little video to go with it, but there are plenty of good spinning videos out on the net already.
So here’s the tutorial, and if it helps you at all, please leave me a comment on the blog.

Hi Sadia — I’m in Vermont near Newfane for a couple of days after NY Sheep and Wool. Would love to get together. I’ll bring support spindles and maybe you can diagnose why my cotton is lumpy…
Email me.
