Amazing video, thank you. You are speaking as smoothly as you are spinning. I would enjoy listening you speaking for hours.

What about that! I didn't know where the term 'spinster' came from. thanks for this presentation. All it is missing is spinning song. Greetings from Australia.

I am intrigued with all the information, the one that caught my attention is songs that spinners sing to keep the beat

Would you be kind enough to share a few songs or words that spinners sing along with to keep the rhythm. Thank you for your help and understanding 🙏

Great info! One question, when the thread broke how was it attached to the thread in the spindle?

[OneThreeEight]

Was the yarn woven as singles or plied?
