PLY Magazine is running a Spinalong to coincide with the launch of their book, 51 Yarns to Spin Before You Cast Off. You can post your entries on their Facebook, Instagram and Ravelry groups with the hashtags #51yarns, #handspunyarn and #plymagazine. There's a different theme each week and you can find a list of the topics and other information here: plymagazine.com/ply-books/51-yarns-spinalong/ The best part is that one winner each week gets a one-year subscription to PLY! I've decided to play along in video form as well by creating a video each week to correspond with that week's spinalong theme.
This week it's Cotton, a fibre with an ancient history (fragments have been found that date back about 7000 years) but one which can seem intimidating to newcomers. In this video I share three methods for spinning cotton without buying specific cotton-spinning tools. I'm using a drop spindle, a spinning wheel and a quill attachment.
Some other videos showing more traditional cotton tools like tahklis and charkhas are:
• Art of Spinning (Making of Thread fro... Art of Spinning by Madhav Sahasrabudhe
• Step 2 Spinning on a Indian Book Char... Spinning on a Indian Book Charkha by Joan Ruane
Next week (w/c Monday 8th October) is Down Wool. Hope to see you again then. In the meantime, happy spinning!
