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.
The "Spindles
Around the World" video shows advanced spindle techniques for
using ethnic spindles such as: Navajo, Russian, Turkish, Takli, Akha, and
Balkan.
The program includes segments on low and high whorl spindle designs, hook
tweaking, whorl notching, winding cops, doffing (removing) yarn, plying and
Andean Plying.
Also, using Nostepindes, ways of managing fiber, making and using various
distaffs,
spinning from the fold. There's even a chapter about making CD Spindles and
spindle accessories from household items.
"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."
