This is the best demonstration and explanation of how spinning is done that I have seen so far that is understandable by children. I showed this to my fourth grade Alabama History class when we studied the pioneers of Alabama (I know the states are different, but I imagine the spinning and surrounding circumstances would be the same). I definitely recommend this for a class. Kudos to this very informative and likeable presenter!
Always wanted to see a wauking wheel in operation. Thanks 4 the demo! We had a few of them scattered around where I used to work, but they were not operational. Smaller wheels at that time used 4 flax.
Correction: India created the chakra, NOT the Great Wheel. A chakra is a machine, yes, but much smaller (about the size of an attache case) and on the horizontal whereas the Great Wheel is vertical.
😊estos vídeo me encantan noo se porque casi todos están desactivados los comentarios vii uno en banco y negro qué están fabricando una rueda es una maravilla pero no podes poner comentarios 😊
You keep going the same direction. When you draft out the fibers you are holding the strand out at an angle from the point of the spindle. This twists the strands. When you need to wind the yarn onto the spindle you hold it directly in front and it winds on instead of twisting.
