Choosing a Supported Spindle Mini Course
Do you want to learn supported spinning, but don’t even know which spindle to choose? Or have you been spinning for a while, but still find yourself unable to find the “Zen” other spinners seem to experience? This course is for you if you’ve found yourself:
- Overwhelmed by the spindle varieties on the market
- Wasting money on spindles you don’t love
- Not being happy with the yarn produced, or not enjoying the experience of spinning
- Suffering ergonomic issues, particularly pain in the shoulders, neck and upper back
- Struggling to learn supported spinning with the spindle you have
In this course, you will learn how to pick the perfect supported spindle for you and the yarn you want to spin. I’ve spent over a decade and a staggering amount of money buying and trying spindles only to find many of them failed to give me the joy I hoped for while spinning. Over time and through trial and error, I have learned a lot about what works and doesn’t work in a supported spindle. Now, I want to share that information with you.
When I teach classes in person, there is never enough time to cover in detail all I’ve learned about choosing specific supported spindles. This mini course addresses subjects like:
- how your physiology matters
- the interplay between the supported spindle and bowl
- the ways length and width impact the spin
- types of spinning tips
- and more!
Length: 41 minutes
Free bonus content:
- Printable buyer’s guide, perfect for in-person shopping at fiber festivals
- List of all spindle makers featured in the course
- Spindle Tracker in MS Excel and Open Document formats - can be opened in Google Sheets too - to help you track stats about your spindles as you acquire them
