I just purchased your kit and it is wonderful. The booklet is so helpful, especially for someone that has never spun. This video was much more helpful and understandable than others I’ve watched. You’v helped me understand the small details. I was having problems drafting, but I think I’m getting the hang of it.

Thank you ❣️showing how the twist moved up through the drafting zone was so very exciting and helpful. I’m really looking forward to giving it a try.😊

You are becoming more confident with showing how-to in your videos! 😊 Good for you! I am a beginner (for about 5 yrs), but i dont practice enough to get comfortable. So i continue to watch beginning videos to see different people spinning .... everybody does things a bit different and seeing all the methods is helpful. This video of yours just popped up in my feed today, and i watched your previous ones also. I look forward to seeing more of your instruction in the future!

Very helpful video! Is there a best breed to learn on that might make it a bit easier?
