Doing the Horizontal (Draw)
I was cruising the web for spindle spinning videos and happened upon this one on the Horizontal Draw. I was impressed with the technique since it relieves stress on the neck and shoulders.
Since I am currently spinning several fibers from the fold on my spindles, I thought this technique was a winner. View the video and comment below the post about your thoughts on the video.
Also check out Fiberbeat for more fiber news and videos.

February Meeting
| Date: | Saturday February 13, 2010 | |
| Time: | 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm | |
| Location: | Slater Mill, Jencks Education Center, 67 Roosevelt Ave., Pawtucket, RI | |
| Notes: | Business Meeting 1:30-2:00 Program: Demonstration of core spun plying. If you'd like to try it bring: 1) A bobbin of something spun with a high degree of twist (this will be the "core" and can even be a commercial yarn or strong thread). 2) Another fiber to go over it for plying (this can be a single on a bobbin, or even something like a pencil roving or combed locks). 3) An empty bobbin for plying. 4) A kate if there is none on board your wheel. | |
