A column from the Minnesota Weaver on floor spindles for spinning thick yarns. It describes how Navajo, Hopi and Salish spinners use the spindle, quoting accounts of hand technique for spinning wool and cotton and for plying. A short Q&A follows, covering spinning wheel choice for beginners (band drive, orifice size, pulley ratios) and how to judge overtwist. The piece ends with a Glimakra loom lessons advertisement.
