for this i didn't use a bowl. i find the fabric of my jeans often works, especially as there's usually a convenient fold to cup the bottom tip

[@aidenlilimomma]

yes, I'm spinning supported, but one could also use this method for drop spinning

Useless without seeing the whole setup, distaff AND spindle.

You spin how you like. This is a video on how to use a hand distaff.
