I'm Spinning Cotton with a 3D Printed Charkha and Chatting with a Fiber Friend!

This video is all about the charkha spinning wheel! Let's assemble a charkha from 3-d printed parts, learn about the charkha's history, chat with Radhika aka The Spinning Professor, and attempt spinning some cotton. I'm new at spinning with a charkha so I'm really glad to show you my thick and lumpy yarn. Hopefully it will inspire you to try spinning cotton as well because it doesn't have to start out perfect!
