Tying a leader onto a bobbin (or spindle) is the first step in your spinning project, but it can cause big problems if it's not tied securely. I'll show you a really secure method which will solve the vast majority of takeup issues at the start of a bobbin. The wheel in this video is the Dreaming Robots Electric Eel Nano 2

This is the best one for me, new learner, so best time to find this out.

Well, I’m off to redo all my empty bobbin leaders now. Thank you so much for showing this! I’d read about this trick but seeing it made it click in my brain.

I love this way of attaching leaders - I saw it in a Judith McKenzie video (I think she called the knot a 'lark's head on the bite') and have used it since. Another great video from you 🙂

This is how I learned. Always works.

Oohh thank you for this tip! I’ve had this issue today so now I can hopefully sort it out. Thank you.

Oooh this is useful! I always just wound a bit of it by hand to create some grip (those nano bobbins really are horribly slippery)

Great to know. I taped mine but prefer your method. Thanks😊

I'll definitely try this in the near future. Have been awkwardly hand winding leaders for years!

@m.5018 9 месяцев назад

Great top tip .. I have found that adding a third loop in opposing direction to last really secures the leader down to the bobbin stem. I’ve used string. as it has good grip but it is so untidy I’m sure it’s leading to uneven bobbin wind at the get go. (I have long leaders helps when plying) Gonna try weaving or crochet cotton now.,, so thank you !

I have the double hitch as well as utilizing the exposed threads on the bobbin. I have my leaders over them to help provide grip. I suppose if one was inclined to lightly sand the bobbin shaft that would help too.

No problem! I’m happy to hear that you found it useful.

I'll have to try that. I've tried taping, but found that too messy with gummy residue sticking to the bobbin; So I have tended to either just knot it like a shoe lace without the loops or winding it on by hand until it starts to feed.
