Rewinding bobbins on a spinning wheel

- Does your spinning wheel have a hidden function you didn't know about? In this video I'll show you how to tell if your wheel can help you rewind bobbins of yarn, based on whether it's Scotch tension Irish tension/bobbin led or double drive.
If you want to know why you'd want to rewind yarn, check out my last video • Should you rewind bobb...

That Herring Wheel is really neat. I want one. I love the design. Nice piece of functional furniture. Also a visual piece of art work.
Thank you!! I managed to do it with an Ashford Kiwi 3 which is a Scotch tension.
A quick preface as to why and when you would rewind a bobbin would have been helpful to me. When I figure that out, I’ll rewatch!
Hi Diedra, thanks for your comment. Unfortunately the ‘quick’ preface would have been as long as the video itself since there are so many potential reasons. As mentioned, that’s all in the previous video
ua-cam.com/video/BzisQqB6bPw/v-deo.html Hope that’s useful.
Thanks so much. I'll watch and learn. 😊
All new information to me. Thank you so very much.
I agree!
It's so good to see you again. Your videos are always so interesting and useful.
Oh yeah! I do this all the time. I use this technique to count my yarn and wind it on then take another bobbin and wind off half to that bobbin then use those two bobbins to ply with onto my other bobbin and I already know how much I will have when done and I don't need to count when done. All my wheels will allow me to do this. Figured this out years ago.
Loved the itty-bitty violin :)). I have a Kiwi 3, and I usually just stick a dowel with duct tape at one end into the orifice, put an empty bobbin on it with a binder clip over the dowel in front of it to hold it in place, and treadle away. Not quite as easy as on an Irish tension or DD, but pretty simple and works well enough. :)
Hi. I'm very interested to see a pic of that as I have the same wheel.
I have this wheel too, I wondered if it would be too much stress on the brake to tighten so that it does not twist as your treadle. I've done it a couple of times (!) and just worry about the spring on the brake knob-tension system wearing out too fast. @tinyfibrestudio- I would love any thoughts you have on that!
I just had a quick look at my Kiwi 2. I think it could work if I had a slightly looser drive band than the poly one it comes with.
I have a double band wheel and frequently use it for winding bobbins before plying. Good video👍.
You can use a ashford Traditional to rewind yarn. Take the maiden off and then use a round chop stick or something similar to put through the bobbin and then attach the drive band to the bobbin.
Wonderful information! Thank you for the detailed explanation.
So brilliant!
Thanks Andrea! 🧶❤️
I haven't tried this yet, but I have a Lendrum DT scotch tension wheel and I was thinking about taking the flyer off and using a 5.5mm straight knitting needle as a shaft so that the bobbin will be better aligned with the wheel....I will be careful!
The tiny violin took me out 😂
😂 It had to be done!
I think you are about the best spinning teach out there! When we rewind a bobbin, does it then make the yarn twist in a different direction? So if we spun 'z' then rewind, is the yarn still spun 'z' and can then be plied "S"? or it is now 'S' spun and needs to be plied "Z"?
❤️ Thank you for the huge compliment! Great question. The twist remains in the same direction so you don’t need to change anything about your plying. This fact messed with my head when I first started spinning but if you write a ‘Z’ or ‘S’ on a piece of paper and turn it upside down, the diagonal remains in the same direction.
