Spindle Spotlight #01 - Basque Txoatile Spindle

In this Spindle Spotlight, I'm featuring a single arm Txoatile or Basque style spindle. In Bette Hochberg's book "Handspindles," she talks about the evolution of spinning tools. This spindle is a lovely example of the hooked stick and a single arm spindle. Muddy Duck Workshop https://www.etsy.com/shop/MuddyDuckWo... Spindle Style Pros: Good for beginners Easy to start Easy to park and draft Portable Spindle Style Cons: Small size doesn't hold a lot of fiber Wind on has a bit of a learning curve Not great for plying because of small size #spinning #spinningspotlight #learningtospin #spinningtutorial #tutorial #howtospin #suspendedspindle #singlearmspindle #basquespindle #txoatilespindle #hookedstick #spinningtools #ancienttools #historicalspinning #yarnspinning #stickspinning #simplespinning #yarntools This video contains no paid endorsements. ***************************************** Follow the Tipsy Spinster on these other channels: The Sip-n-Spin Facebook Page:   / thesipnspin   The Sip-n-Spin Instagram Feed:   / thesipnspin   #spindlespotlight
