SPINDLING Method 1 - intro to spinning textured yarn on a drop spindle

Welcome to the SPINDLING Masterclass where my friend Sarah and I (both self-taught) translate my spinning wheel methods to drop spindle. In this method we will be taking an assortment of fibers from my stash and using our hands to prepare them for spinning a single-ply yarn from hand picked (not carded) wool. This creates a unique, organic, raw yarn texture that is beautiful when used in textiles.
