That was a very informative assembly tutorial, thank you! I have a tip to stop bobbin rattles. I use Burt's Bee's Lip balm on the metal shaft, (less messy than Vaseline). I also have a sewing machine felt washer that I use between the bobbin and the flyer, it stops all nasty noises!
Just watched a show on PBS about alpachas and have become extremely interested in spinning. Your video was one of the most informative I have seen so far!
Start with a drop spindle - so easy to learn, and cheap to start! You'll be spinning in no time, and it's so meditating and calming! Very good for the soul, these days. There are listings on ets where you can get a top-whorl and bottom-whorl, AND fibere to spin. I can link you one if you like!
Hiya, me again I am also In the uk and I would really like a majacraft little gem, would you be able to give me some advice on how you bought yours from abroad please?
