Cross Lacing on a Spinning Wheel

Explanation/Demonstration of cross lacing on a bobbin led spinning wheel, in this case a Louet S10

Thank you! I bought an Irish tension spinning wheel without realizing it. I was recently taught to spin on a double drive and couldn’t get the right grip on my new wheel. This really helps!

Thank you for this suggestion, my wheel was pulling in so fast so I just stopped using it. Now I will try it again using the cross lacing

Thank you for your video, I know it's an oldish one. I've never heard or seen cross lacing before, I would have thought the yarn would get all tangled or something, I'm going to try cross lacing for myself, thank you. Cheers from Tasmania!

Absolutely AMAZING video. I learned a LOT! Thank you!

Thank you for the video, it’s super helpful! I just purchased a Louet s71 and it’s also bobbin-led. I was wondering, how do you cross-lace when the singles are coming closer to the orifice as you fill the bobbin?

Thank you for the video - it's given me hope that I can solve this exact problem with my Ashford jumbo e-spinner. I prefer to spin fine yarns and my wonderful husband bought me the jumbo e-spinner for my birthday thinking that bigger would be better! Sadly not so. I don't want to sell it but I'm also not interested in big art yarns so am trying to work out how to spin finer yarns on it. I have the orifice reducer but it's just too powerful for the finer yarns. Have you tried this method on an e-spinner or do you have any advice about it?

I'm wondering on the effect the friction has on the yarn already on the bobbin - if it's a non supperwash fiber, doesn't it tend to want to felt the threads already on the bobbin? Thanks for sharing! I have not considered this option before!

Very helpful dude. I'm a beginner using a louet 10 and have processed alpaca to s pin. I'm having trouble with take up and excessive spinning but finding some helpful videos all of a sudden. How thin should the spun yarn look on the bobbin? My large hands are used to knitting with bulky yarns and I think I'm trying to spin the alpaca to large as a result. Any tips would be appreciated as I'm learning on you tube exclusively. Your friend in crafting. Spokane, wa. Oh and merry Christmas 🎅.

I wonder if cross-lacing would also allow more length for the twist to even out before being wound on the bobbin.
