Thanks for sharing this video. My spinning and weaving teachers here in the U.K. were big fans of Mabel Ross and taught their pupils her techniques back in the late 1980's when I was attending their classes. I think I even spent a weekend on a weaving course with Nancy Harvey when she came to visit them.
I'm so glad this video has been so useful for folks! That is why I enjoy finding and digitizing and posting them, even when I know nothing about the subject matter :D
Also I just realized I replied to you from a different account. I am the same person tho. I've been migrating all of my VHS uploads to a different account (vcarchives). Just wanted to point that out since it seemed like a stranger was replying 🙃
I notice that her short draw is a backwards draft. This is not fashionable now as most spinners are taught short forward drafting, but it does work very well.
What a magic teacher. Wonderful, wish I had learnt from her in the beginning. Many thanks.
I am absolutely loving this woman
