Abby:

Have never seen your drop spindle video done so clearly. Now that I have learned a few dozen types of spindles (Maya and Ethiopian etc) I have a better understanding with your video of the drop spindle concept that I could never do before.

Thanks a lot for a great video for basics.

It doesn't work like that when I do it. You make it look so easy!

Wow, after hunting about all over the internet for months to find anything that would make me understand spinning, I have found this. And I finally feel ready to pick up that spindle and give it a go! Thank you.

Once again I tripped over you on the internet, and then found this video.

It brought back a wonderful memory of learning to spin, slower by the day but faster by the hour - a long time ago in Brewster NY, not too mention other places thereafter - just to hear his stories

Thank you

Thank you for doing this video

I recently bought a Golding Ring Spindle Kit and while waiting for it to arrive I spent nights watching spindle videos and ingesting info.

When I finally received the package, I spent some time learning to park and draft, but this spindle wanted to spin! I found your video and watched you pinch the fibers and spin -- I got bold -- and let my hands, fingers, and spindle do what came naturally. Guess what? I. Made. Yarn.

Thank you again, for the video and your informative commentary!

Abby,
I keep coming back to this video to get new insight into drop spinning. You are phenomenal!!!!! I have spent probably the last hour reading and reading your blog(?). You answer so many questions, give such insight, inspiration and even humor. Your web-site will definitely be a daily stop off for me. ABBY, FIBER GODDESS SHALL BE YOUR NAME!!!!!

Thanks for all the videos you have been making and sharing. As one of the many would-be spinners who has never seen anyone else spin in real life, I pick up a little bit more from each one.
