- I demonstrate how I use my support spindles in hopes that maybe it will help another beginner! If your are interested in any products in the mill or need a fleece processed visit the website at www.kingdomfle...
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!
Lol, thanks, they are from our local corner store😉. And yes,I hope maybe I can help someone else.
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
@@sandraanderson217 that is awesome,I'm Glad I could help.
I feel you are doing a great job, and showing how to get going for beginners. Thank you for sharing
Thank you l!
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 ❤.
Congratulations 🎉🎉. You mastered it!! Patience and practice. I’m not there yet, but you’ve inspired me to keep at it.
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!
@@myrany8407 thank you!, I'm sure wool will make things alot easier!
Thanks for sharing your progress I am just learning & still doing park & draft I don’t know if o will ever get to do it continuous but your video is a big help in showing & explaining it Cheers
@@susanwhaitiri9749 You're welcome! I'm so glad I could help!
That was very good! Thank you - now I'm wondering if I still have my support spindle packed away somewhere ❤
You'll have to dig it out. It really is nice to take it on the go.
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!
Thank you, I feel like support spindles are so hard to explain! I'm still trying to figure it out lol
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 loved this video Liz, and it was so nice of you to share it! You are doing great, but I think I'll stick with my Turkish spindles! Lol
Lol, that's too funny! I have never tried a Turkish drop spindle!
@@kingdomfleeceandfiberworks5897I love the cops a Turkish spindle makes!
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
@@danielbryant-ou1zx Can you message me off here? I have more questions ,I'd be happy to help you out as much as I can! My email is kffiberworks@gmail.com
As I progress with support spindle spinning I have found that carding my roving into Rolags is my easier prep to spin.
@@katlady1019 yes, That makes total sense rolags are a woolen prep ideal for long draw. keep spinning 😁
