Seriously. The way you explained it has made the most sense. Thank you for making this video
Thank you so much for watching Mae and for taking the time to leave a kind comment too. Glad the video helped 🥰
I do so wish I’d found this a few weeks ago. This has been so helpful! Thank you, Angela. I think this video is the best support spindle tutorial on the internet. It’s incredibly difficult to learn what you might be doing wrong from someone who is spinning fluidly, and professionally. I really appreciated the “ways things go wrong” section at the end.
Thank you so much for your kind words about this video 🥰🥰😘
Hope you are feeling well at the moment and have been able to enjoy some spinning time 🧡
Just tried using a (homemade) supported spindle the first time yesterday and was frustrated. This addressed literally every problem I had. Thanks!!!
So glad that it helped. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment too. Hope you have many happy hours making beautiful yarn with your spindle 🤞🧡
Your tutorial is one of the best on support spindle. Good views and clear instruction. You're the only one that teaches how far up the spindle you start. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words Tess I’m glad to know that you enjoyed the video 🥰🧡
Thank you so so much for this video!! I do have two support spindles, one very light one and one which is a bit heavier, but I never got really far with it ever. Now you've actually motivated me to try again - thank you! ❤
You are so welcome, I’m so glad you found the video helpful and I hope you have as much fun with your spindles as I do mine x
Loved this video. I own 5 spinning wheels and too many drop spindles to count, but recently wanted to get into a supported spindle after seeing them on instagram. Thank you for being so personable and for teaching on a level that can be related to and easy to understand. Sometimes when a teacher is too experienced they forget how difficult it can be for someone new to get started. 🥰
Thank you so much for watching and for leaving such a kind comment. Five spinning wheels wow that sounds heavenly 😃🧡
Oh my gosh!!! I love your tattoo!!!
Aww thank you, that is so kind of you to say. I feel like I need to get a spinning tattoo as well to represent my other fibre love 😃🧡
это один из самых лучших мастерклассов, что я видел!
thank you very much! this is a most helpfull tutorial with so many important little things.. i just start to surching information about spining) finaly after 30 years i can do this - my dream come truth)) 🙃
Aww thank you so much for your kind comment Amnezia. I’m so happy to know that this video helped you 😃 Happy spinning 🧡
So helpful- Thank you!
You're so welcome, I’m so happy to know you found it helpful 🥰🧡
I really appreciate having the camera behind you as most tutorials you are facing the instructor and my brain struggles to flip everything as I'm trying to imagine doing the motions!
Thank you so much for watching Rae and for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. I’m so glad to know that you found the video helpful
Thank you so much! This is the first support spindle tutorial I have found that demonstrates how to make a leader. All the others seem to assume that learners know how to attach the yarn to the spindle. You did a marvelous job. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words William 🧡🥰
Thanks so much for this!
You're so welcome, I’m so glad you found it useful. Thank you so much for watching. Happy spinning 🧡
I hope this makes you smile!
I am teaching myself to spindle spin (well attempting to, anyway) with the help of several lovely TH-camrs. I have acquired 4 different spindles and am trying each one out, to see how I get on with each type of spinning. Yesterday it was the turn of a support spindle, I had watched your video the day before and thought I remembered the technique. Several frustrating (and thoroughly exasperating) attempts later, I was still unable to actually start the process off; so, l thought I’d better watch the video again and see where I was going wrong. You had just started your introduction and lo and behold the bit of fluff stayed put for the first time, I was able to spin a leader and finally got going! The fibre obviously just needed to hear the voice of authority before it gave in!
Oh Jools this really did make me smile 😊 I hope you have so much fun with your spindle. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment 🥰

If only I actually had the power to start spindles with just my voice 🥰😃🧡 can you imagine!?!
Wonderful Video! I have been seriously considering a support spindle because holding my arms up using a drop spindle or a Turkish spindle is becoming really bothersome as I'm getting older (why I use an e-spinner too). I really appreciated the troubleshooting tips at the end too. "Practice makes better" ..... so right on!
Thank you so much for watching Rita and for taking the time to leave such a kind comment. I’m so glad that you found the video helpful and I do hope that you have fun exploring support spindle spinning 🧡
Hey, I just want to say thank you so so much I had a support spindle and didn’t know how to use it until your video so thank you so much great video and I am in love with support spindling. This is the coolest thing ever.
Thank you so much for your kind comment Serenity. I’m so happy to know that this video helped. Support spindle spinning is my absolute favourite way to spin. I hope you can now l enjoy your time with your spindles as much as I do 🧡
This is my very first spinning video or maybe second. I really enjoyed watching it!
Glad you enjoyed it Melissa thank you so much for watching
Thank you so much! I was unable to start *at all*on my supported spindle, and it's been gathering dust for over a year. However, I watched your video one time and was able to get going right away! Hooray! 🎉
Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. I’m so very happy to know that the video helped you, I hope you have lots of lovely adventures and make some beautiful yarns with your spindle. 🧡 Woolly hugs 🧡🧡
Oh that was really interesting Ange - thank you. It made me want to pick up my drop spindles and maybe even buy a support spindle…🤔🙏
Aww thank you 😊 so glad you found it interesting 🥰🧡
Thank you so much for all your tips here .... they are really helping me!
I'm so glad that you have found the video helpful. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave a lovely comment too 🧡
You're so cute! I'm enamored with support spinning and determined to get comfortable with it! Thanks for this helpful video!
Thank you so much for watching Mary and for taking the time to leave such a kind comment. I adore spinning with my support spindles so it’s always lovely to meet someone else who loves using them too 😊
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve had a support spindle 4 years but could never make it work. I was planning to get rid of it but decided to give it one more go. After watching your video, I finally spun! I was making many of the mistakes you showed. The only mistake I made that you didn’t cover was preparing the leader with Z twist and then taking it all out when starting to spin! I have watched several videos of how to spin supported, and got a thorough book, but your video of the mistakes beginners make is the one that worked to get me started. Thank you soooooo much.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Gail, you’ve made my week with your kind words. I’m so glad the video helped you 🥰🧡
I got a giggle when I heard you can't see me but I'm celebrating promise 😃
😃🤣
I have always enjoyed all of your yarn adventures
Thank you Lottie 😃🧡
Very helpful!
Thank you I’m so happy to know you found it useful 🥰🧡
Ange, thanks so much for this video. I’m an inexperienced spinner and got my first supported spindle today. I thought I’d look for some advice and you have been amazing. Thanks heaps!
Oh thank you have totally made my day with your lovely comment. I’m so happy to know the video helped. Hope you fall in love with support spinning as much as I have 🧡
This was so helpful! Thanks for all these tips. I really benefitted from the advice to avoid too much twist before drafting.
I’m so happy to know that it helped you Patricia 🥰🧡
Thank you again 😊. I just rewatched this, since I got myself my first support spindle. I now managed the start. Next stage: drafting 😉😄.
Woohoo well done. As coincidence would have it I’m just editing a new support spindle video chatting about things like that. Hopefully I will have it done and it will come to the channel soon 🤞🤞
@@YarnNYarns oh that’s perfect 😍. Looking forward to it. Meanwhile I will practice longdraw. I think that is my main problem.
This is the most helpful video I’ve watched. You’ve been so generous sharing your experience, thank you. It’s just what I needed, a “Ladybird book of support spinning” approach 😊.
Thank you so much Mindy for watching and for taking the time to leave such a kind comment. I’m so happy to know that you found the video useful 🧡
This makes me want to get out my support spindle. Great demonstration and enjoyed your podcast. I'll subscribe and enjoy your fiber podcast. Thanks so much! It's great you are showing how to get started. I could use a refresher. It's been a while.
Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave such a kind comment Chelle. I do hope you manage to hone some time to play with your spindles again 🤞😃🧡
I adore Fellview Fibers. I live in the US and order from them.
They’re fibres are fabulous aren’t they 😃🧡
Hi Ange, thankyou so much for sharing this video podcast. Love the close up views, this was very much appreciated 👏 xx I
I haven't tried this method yet, although I think that Turkish Spindles are similar apart from the bowl and the wind on method.I do have Turkish Spindles, think I might need to buy a Supported Spindle though.
Thanks again for sharing your ways of getting going with Supported Spindle Spinning.
Take care and stay safe.
Lots of love and yarny hugs Jen 🫂 xx
Yes you can definitely also spin supported with some turkish spindles. Support spindle spinning has definitely become my favourite way to spin over the last year or so
Are you left handed? I’m ambidextrous but do most things right handed, and I’m trying to work out what hand I hold the wool in and which hand I spin the spindle. I love how you showed the common mistakes. That’s extremely helpful!
Thank you To ya I’m so glad you found this helpful. I’m right handed 🧡
Have you tried using a leader string? I started with one and it makes that first little bit of spinning a bit smoother. You just tie a string under your spindle whirl and then on top of your whirl, then spin it around the stick all the way to the top and then do like you do with the fiber. You don't waste any and it's much more secure. And you also have much more room to fill up your spindle.
Thank you. I’ve not tried with a leader for my support spindles but I will definitely give it a try 🧡😃
Thank you for your thorough presentation...I just bought a supported spindle...now I am getting the hang of it slowly slowly but at first, I could not spin the spindle without the single coming off!!! And also when the yarn is held above the spinning spindle, iboth are spinning in the same plane so it seems odd at first, to have the movement sl.close together, if you see what I mean!!!
Thank you!!
Thank you so much for watching Marianne. Your first support spindle that is so exciting. I hope you end up enjoying it as much as I do. It’s always a little strange at first getting used to something new isn’t it, but I’m sure there will be no stopping you soon 😃🧡
🥰💚❣
I got my first couple of support spindles today, my one with my bobbin I'm completely fine on. The neolithic spindle, not so much, I'm literally winding it on in the direction I'm spinning but it's not staying with the spindle
Your first spindles that is so exciting Nataleigh I hope you have managed to get to grips with the Neolithic spindle now 🤞🤞🧡 I have everything crossed for you and am here cheering you on
@@YarnNYarns Thank you, 🤗
What do I wrong? I can not pull out continously thin fibers out of the rolag, it gets always thicker and then I have to stop and pull the fibers with both hands apart. Something I did not understand yet. Am I holding the rolag too strong or too light or something else is the problem?
I like supported spinning and I think, that is what I could do, but something does not work as it should. Could you please have and idea, what am I doing wrong? Your video helps me already much, but this question remains still open.
Being left handed would I go counter clock wise as I would be holding the wool in my right hand
Lefty here: I spin right handed on a spinning wheel (mostly). That said, I'm thinking of getting a supported spindle and trying that. Getting the spindle going with my left hand would lead to the spindle turning in an anti-clockwise direction (at least the way I flick my thumb & finger). So yes, I think you would go anti-clockwise. I also think you might end up with yarn with an S twist, rather than a Z twist.
Hi, I’m curious do you have a link for the shop you mentioned (where the Rolag is from)
Sure, it’s www.fellviewfibres.co.uk 😃
