Handspinning on a Spool Spindle

Just a quiet, relaxing session of spindling with my spool spindle. After drafting the fibers, they are wound onto the bobbin (not shown in video). This spindle can also be spun suspended or even inside of a bowl.
Unfortunately, these spindles are not currently available for purchase.
Thanks for watching. 💛

Hello from 2023, thank you so much for this very practical idea, I shall now be using homemade spools for all my handspinning!!!!

[@ruthlee2752]

Well, of course, we want one. I know they are not for sale but will they be in the future

[@novaa706]

This is so cool. Can you do this with a Tibetan spindle or can you share how to make this?

[@doralevitt2879]

That's awesome, can you tell me where you got it from?

[@SherrisPlace]

Could you show how you put fibre on the spool to start please.
And does the fibre simply fill the bobbin evenly itself as it spins?
Thank you

[@heavenlyknitchet]

It is wound by hand onto the bobbin. A leader can be used at the start, similar to how one would use a leader for a drop spindle.

This thing is exactly what I am looking for! Where can I buy this kind of spindle? Happy spinning!
