    First - I love the shirt! Second, it’s really awesome and important to see how folks with different types of mobility issues can still make fiber arts work for them! Thank you for sharing!

    I’m waiting for my spindle to arrive. I’ve watched so many videos but yours definitely clears up questions I’ve had! Thank you

    So glad I found your channel! I bought my first support spindle 2 weeks ago and am gobbling up information. Thanks for sharing what you have learned. I really appreciate that you shared that you are a stroke survivor. My son had a massive stroke at age 33. 16 months later he has minimal use of his right hand but it is still improving.

      Welcome! I'm glad You found the channel too! I'm sorry to hear about your son. Tell him not to give up and keep trying and it's okay to do things differently, reach out if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help!

      Thank you! I plan on telling him about you. He has worked really hard. His affected hand is his dominant hand but he continues to progress. His biggest hurdle is losing his ability to communicate easily due to aphasia and apraxia of speech. He gets very frustrated and sad. That said he hasn’t stepped back from living life and I am so proud of him. Anyway- you are an encouragement to me ❤.

    I just started support spindling. My mistake was starting with a Tahkli and cotton sliver. Even though I have been spindle spinning for 20 years. Cotton has proven a real challenge. Just ordered a Tibetan support spindle yesterday. I am hoping that with wool will go much better.
    You however are doing fantastic!

    That made so much sense. I'm okay on wheel, drop spindles, but the support spindle is kind of a mystery. Great overhead shot - thanks!

      I got precisely one with a lap bowl. And I just can't get another until I get this one going. It came with a lot of wool that is loose and fluffy (much different than I'm used to!) so I'll use that and see how it goes. Whew!@@kingdomfleeceandfiberworks5897

    You do wonderfully at spinning. I'm going to try a drop spindle, and I have one hand that shakes badly. I hope I have as much success as you.

      Thank you. Just be patient with yourself and if you need to switch hands and see if that works too. Try and only do a few minutes at the time so you don't stress yourself out! If you keep trying different things, eventually you'll find something that works, Good luck!

    I think you are amazing, my mum had a stroke a few years back, she's having trouble treadling and drafting, so she asked for a spindle, so iv got the Turkish she asked for but I'm thinking a support one might be better, my question is the tip
    Are they better with a smooth point to spin off as mine are shopped so the fibre bounces which do you think would be better for her, she too has left hand weakness

    As I progress with support spindle spinning I have found that carding my roving into Rolags is my easier prep to spin.
