This was very helpful! I just got a drop spindle and finding videos of people trying to spin art yarn has been hard. Excited to work my way to this technique.
I'm so glad it helped! I wish I could have made the video a bit better showing the spindle more. The technique is like "park and draft" and i think maybe it helps having the two yarns on a table in front where you can see how they wind together. It's a bit slow, but can be done! Good luck!
Thanks so much for doing this, Im without a wheel and need a small amount of bulky art yarn for Tapestry header and do have spindles TuxedoDeb Harpist & Environmental Artist🤵
Possible, but slow. And it was a lot harder spinning a fat yarn on my spindle, it just didn't want to stay spinning. I think my spindles are made for thinner yarns.
@@TheSheepsGarden I am a new spinner and so far only on a drop spindle. I am more and more coming to think I need to get a wheel. I don't have a lot of money or space so it will have to be an e-spinner or a foldable castle. It would be a lot easier to ply generally on a wheel as my old arthritic hands/wrists struggle with the weight on the spindle. Thanks again.
This was great to watch. I haven't even received my drop spindle yet. And I am so fascinated and so excited to try spinning!!
Spinning with a drop spindle is great fun! I recommend starting slow, the "park and draft" technique is great for beginners. 😊
@@TheSheepsGarden I absolutely will! Thank you for the advice, I am taking it completely. New Subscriber. Thank you so much!
Quite promissing, worth trying! Thank you for sharing! ☺️
It was tricky, but doable ☺️
This is very useful, thank you for sharing how you did it! That yarn looks gorgeous! 😍
Thanks so much! I'm glad it helped 😊
It’s really nice. I am going to give it a try. Thank you.

Thanks!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Spinning is so interesting! I would love to see you working in a spinning wheel!
Thanks what a good idea! I'll have to do a video with my spinning wheels 😊

Great video! I am wondering how did it was up? You were worried that the coils would flatten?
Thanks! It turned out ok, the coils held. It is harder than with a spinning wheel but going slowly it's doable 😊
thanks for sharing. I had wondered if it is possible. It looks difficult.
