Spinning off the Point with Joan RuaneSpinning off the point is the simplest — and the original — way to make yarn. The ‘long draw’ method, once you get it down, has been compared to the feeling you get from riding a roller coster; thrill and freedom! This class is perfect for anyone, including the rank beginner. |

This video class gives you the chance to learn to spin on all kinds of quills; from the simple book charkha, through several of the floor wheels, on to the high-tech eSpinners. Special emphasis on controlling the spin of the quill using only your feet with the wheels – leaving both hands free for the fiber!
Spinning from a quill has an amazing range of monetary investment; you can actually start out this very day with nothing more than a chopstick and a stone disk or ceramic bead.
