I received my first supported spindle today and have been scanning KZfaq all afternoon for tutorials. Yours was the first one that made me understand the principles. Thank you so much ❤

Oh my goodness! I finally was able to get it on the spindle and keep it on. Not sure what was done differently. Your instruction was very helpful. I was about to break my spindle. Learning online with learning disabilities has been a challenge.

The very best video about spindel spinning! Finally is it clear for me, how right and left hands are working together to get a good result! Many thanks!

BEAUTIFULLY made video! Very excellent explanation as you're demonstrating. You make it easy to replicate. As a sidenote, I love your accent 😊

There are so many knowledgeable teachers here at KZfaq. Excellent video, very well explained, and demonstrated. Thank you

This is the best supported spindle video I've seen, and I've been watching many. Thanks so much for the helpful lesson!

Thank you for your very clear description of what you are doing at every stage. I have viewed quite a few videos about spinning but your has been by far the best.

I have been watching sooo many supported spindle videos and continued to struggle at understanding how to make it work. This is the best video I have come across. You’ve explained the process so well. Thank you

This is one of the BEST explanations of how to use a supported spindle I have seen in a very long time. Thank you for posting this and helping those of us who have this equipment, actually, use it.

This IS the best one I've seen. I was getting really frustrated because none of the others talk about the hand over the top. I couldn't understand why the fiber was twisting all the way up. Thanks so much!!

Thank you for teaching me how to use my support spindle!

Fantastic tutorial .. I actually know what to do now … and I’ve kept your video to keep dipping into 🦋

Fantastic video! Thank you. I went from clueless to actually building some wool on my spindle in 15 mins or less!

I've been watching a ton of supported spindle videos recently trying to find some resources for my partner to learn with and this one is so so good ! You talk about several important things (posture, practicing spinning the spindle without fiber first, etc) that I havent seen other videos touch on, and I really think it's the small stuff that makes the difference with learning supported, as its such a subtle tool. Really helpful video, thank you for making it !

Great tutorial! I bought a Russian spindle at a fiber festival 2 days ago. Could not get it started no matter what video I watched until I came across yours last night. Finally understand! Thank you!

I wholeheartedly agree with all the comments, so all that there is left to say is thank you so much!

Best tutorial, thanks for a thorough explanation.

I agree! this is the best tutorial I have found on supported spindling yet. Wish your Etsy site were still active, hope you come back to it someday, Lori. Thanks so much!! 🙏🏽😊🧶

You have a gift for describing your every essential motion every explicitly, and slowly enough to understand while also watching intensely.....well done! :-)

Thank you. I have a friend who loaned me a stable spindle and some fiber and spent time showing me how to use it. Of course as soon as I got home, I promptly forgot every thing she showed me. This is a great video and makes me even more excited to work at this new hobby.

Hi! I just have to comment that this really is a great supported spindle tutorial! You break the process down so well, and you do a great job of explaining and demonstrating all parts of the process. Thanks so much!

Glad this popped up, I was getting a bit frustrated as other videos showed continuous draw. This is so much better, my yarn is far more consistent now I can walk before I run.

Wow! This is the best video I've seen on supported spindles. Thank you!

This is such a wonderful tutorial on supported spindling. I really appreciate the way you have broken each step down to the basics, and how you explain the purpose of each step. I hope you're able to turn and sell some spindles in the not too distant future. Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial.

Oh my goodness, I've been trying for months to understand how supported spinning works and because of your video it FINALLY clicked! Thank you! I can use all kinds of drop spindles with no problem but just couldn't for the life of me get a supported spindle to work!

Lori, I would Like to echo what many others have said. I’ve been trying to learn how to use the support spindle for quite some time and while I was getting a little bit better this tutorial really actually got me spinning using one! Thank you so much.

When I started knitting, spinning on a spindle, spinning cotton, spinning on a wheel... I always made a habit of doing some thorough research before getting all of the materials, so I could start with a little more confidence and information. Now that I'm interested in support spindles, I'm doing the same thing. Just wanted to say thanks for the video! It's clear and helpful. I actually hope I can buy one of your spindles someday :) Good luck with your work!

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial, you're a very good instructor! Your bubbly personality makes it easy to want to follow along with you.

Best spinning teacher I've found!Thanks for sharing 😊

Excellent tutorial after many months of trying I can now use my support spindles. Thanks so much

This was a great tutorial, thank you!

Thank you for this video, Lori! Your instructions are very clear, and your videographer did a great job with the close-ups. This will definitely help me to get started with spinning supported at last.

What an excellent teacher you are.

Fantastic tutorial. I am a beginning spinner. I wish I had seen this a long time ago, I wouldn't have put off learning to spin for such a long time. Too many resources assume basic knowledge, so it's nice to see someone beginning at zero. Fiber drafting is another area where basic knowledge is assumed.

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen so far!

Thanks for making this detailed video! I have been using whirl drop spindles for awhile and just starting to explore the world of spindles. I'm totally ready to try this type and thanks for sharing the perm/temp wind on option.

Great video. I can't wait to see some more videos.

Lori, You are awesome!

Very nice tutorial. Good energy and calming. Good video person also. Do you have an updated website?

Excellent instructions-thank you so much for the video Kathy

Thank you so much for the best tutorial 🙏🏻

Hope you are ok Lori, since you made this so long ago! I guess you are in the southern states area, going by your lovely way of talking! Thank you again.

Wonderful vid, clear, and easy to understand! I feel ready to buy a spindal now☺

Lovely! Thank you!

What a great tutorial! Thank you so much for posting ! :)

fantastic instruction, fantastic personality, thank you.

The best tutorial 👌🏻

this is GREAT !!! Thanks for putting this together !! Answers alot of my questions and some questions I didn't know I had ! :-)

Excellent: presentation, explanation, consistency with terms. Well done.

Great tutorial!

Thank you!

Well, I must say, that was tremendous! Thank you very much for taking the time to share this tecnique properly. It is now sooo much clearer.

just adding my two cents! Very nice video, I'm just getting into this art and your​ video is tops!

i loved. thanks.

Thank you for your lovely video and your beautiful clear speech, you've helped my support spindling a lot!

Thanks 🙏🏻

Great explaination, I think I can do it...finally.❤️👍🐑

Trying to find you online somewhere. Lol You must have dropped out! But hey really excellent description of how to build on each step of spinning. I teach spindle spinning sometimes but it is hard to get the steps easy to understand. Your way of describing supported spinning is the best! How you come back to the scene someday!!

Thanks for this video! It has really helped me in learning how to support spindle. I am struggling with the last part that looks like long draw.😦

Hallo Lori, really a useful video! I am already started spinning with a supported but this video gave me a number of infos I still need!!! Happy spinning!

Great video! :) I have a question - does it not want to spin well to wind on directly to the bottom rather than the middle, unwind, then rewind at the bottom, or is there another reason?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I thank you for explaining simply and clearly the method we need to know! I like how this yarn just flows onto the spindle I hope to one day get a support spindle and have a go of it! Thanks to you I may try it! The spinning and winding seem so fluid and almost effortless , although I see a lot is going on there! How do you ply this yarn straight from the spindle maybe using a spindle holder? Where did you get the spindle you are using? TFS!!

are you right handed or left handed? just curious

I know I am a day late and a dollar short on commenting. But I wanted to let you know I saved your video to my Pinterest. If this is not okay I am happy to remove.

You are so thorough and clearly spoken. It makes this skill so much easier to learn! Yours is absolutely the best support spindle video I've ever seen!
