Spanish spinning
A year or so ago, I picked up a Basque drop spindle. I sat down this weekend to see if I could manage to figure out the spinning technique needed. Turns out I can spin it just fine but definitely need to work on the proper way to wind the fiber. This is undyed Merino wool. I'll post more pictures once I spin the rest and ply it. When I decided to follow the trail of finding more info about the Basque spindle, I came across this: The World of Spindles by Beatrix Nutz, a paper I found on Academia.edu, was published in 2025. https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/122677264/The_World_of_Spindles-libre.pdf?1746555633=&response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_World_of_Spindles.pdf&Expires=1759187775&Signature=VhZH6mK4u7TU0U53d8oAbz31kz0qQL9nLUCufdHExjcwt0rps6myrcNC58WNbHlE2fylYFq95nTS7N6A4UWBSCfnH2opqV-vqDt0lphmxUU~6xJ0YFkGuENMFIA43aCc5n5DZtu2F~PlY-JL9-Vh3yAMj-trEi8TY9UjgffEGI2Guu0b5Gpurw1Tk1DpsnqBg82LPqxHDf-BuSA~hHaaxTOrZvvNm1LOg63KR...
