Oh my goodness. I loved your video AND your Miles Turtle. Thanks so much. I absolutely love working with a Turkish spindle but was watching you for learning how to do the wrapping and returning to center. You demonstrated it perfectly. Thank you! I'm getting ready to go to a fiber festival and am exciting to take my Turkish spindle -s o very portable.

Do you process your own fleece. It looks so lovely and soft. I love spinning with a drop spindle. Super relaxing.

[@rehashfiber]

In the video I used professionally prepared combed top. With the Turkish Spindle I want easy to work with fiber. I do process all types of fiber from wool, alpaca, and cotton for spinning on the wheel. Warm regards, Shiree

Do you also ply on your Turkish spindle?

[@rehashfiber]

No, I ply with the either the e-spinner or the Ashford Joy spinning wheel.
