Long Draw

Show a quick long draw using short fiber wool and my DD Spinning Wheel. I have been messing around with my Ashford Traditional with a Spindle attachment and learning how to better prepare the fiber for long drawing. Preparing for the spindle is different than for the flyer. If you plan on single handed long draws then you need some really light and fluffy rolags but for the treadle wheel you can have a little denser rolag because you are likely going to be using two hands vs just one. But you can practice with the right prep with just one hand so when you do get your hands on an Antique Walking Wheel you will be much better prepared to successfully spin on with one.

I really enjoy the camera angle of these videos! This was a great explanation of long draw.
