Spinning Techniques for Hand spindles & whorls

The basic transfer of spinning twist between the upper and lower hands of a spinster using a drop spindle. Adding a safety rubber band   below a removable whorl. Adding weight to a hand spindle that is too light. My Etsy store has some of the spindles seen in these videos: http://missingspindle.etsy.com.   You'll also enjoy the glass spindle whorls at Laurie Ament's store http://glassbead.etsy.com. Note: Left handed spinner demo. And many thanks to the talented folks at http://www.tammyswales.com.
