"Connie Delaney Spindle Seminar" may never see the light of day, but in the meantime:

Charkha Spinning: Tips & Techniques is 75 minutes chock full of excellent information presented by Elaine Benfatto. One beginner who couldn’t figure out her holiday gift Charkha got an advance copy of the tape in progress and proclaimed it “Excellent! Perfect! I wouldn’t change a thing. Everything I needed to know was covered. She’s a fantastic instructor.” Elaine’s years of experience may also help existing Charkha users with discussions of fibers and fiber preparation, advanced and non-traditional Charkha fibers, trouble-shooting, positions, techniques for faster and more consistent throughput, and additional topics.

"Just received the new DVD, Spindles around the World. It's beautifully produced and full of information. Thanks to Barbara for sharing her knowledge. I will tell everyone I see, near drop spindles at the sheep shows coming up, about the new DVD/video. Can't wait to see what you produce next."
