    I LOVE your three tutorials! I watched them last night (propping my eyelids up as it was after midnight, but I HAD to watch them) and then ran out this morning, bought some roving and embled a drop spindle, et Voila! I have a skein of homespun wool. You’re the best!

    That’s a neat way of doing it! I use a Niddy-Noddy to create a skein.

    Excellent tutorials …
    Excellent tutorials, best of the lot. Now I finally understand spinning. Everything was very clear and concise, I could see what you were doing all the time. The music was a nice addition too.

  20. jadenbane Says:

    Hi there, I think …
    Hi there, I think your tutorials are great! You’ve done a wonderful job. Doing things with white yarn, and a black shirt was genius.

    I’ve only recently taken an interest in all things spinning and textile. Your videos have taken me a long way on the road to yarn artistry! Wonderful.

    I also would like to see a tutorial on plying.

  21. stephanieknits Says:

    ah – ha I see – …
    ah – ha I see – thanks for the quick response. I have now done a little bit of plying! it’s hard not to get everything in a mess – I wonder if I have done the original singles too tight. A tutorial (when you get time) on plying would be great.

  22. theartofmegan Says:

    Plying yarn is …
    Plying yarn is something you can decide whether or not you are going to do with your singles. It’s not a requirement, though, but can balance out a beginner’s more uneven yarns. There are a few methods, and in the near future I plan on making videos with some plying techniques. For now, the day job has me.

  23. stephanieknits Says:

    Hi – do you not ply …
    Hi – do you not ply your yarn? I have just started to create some singles (using your vids – thanks) but all of the other articles I read / view talk about plying two singles together before you hank them?

    Thank you so much …
    Thank you so much for posting this series of videos! I have been wanting to learn to spin for quite awhile now, bought a drop spindle and everything, but totally chickened out when I started reading books on what to do. Your videos helped so much more than the books ever did! Thank you!!!
