    Wow this is one of the best explanations, about spinning wheel.
  • This is the best demonstration and explanation of how spinning is done that I have seen so far that is understandable by children. I showed this to my fourth grade Alabama History class when we studied the pioneers of Alabama (I know the states are different, but I imagine the spinning and surrounding circumstances would be the same). I definitely recommend this for a class. Kudos to this very informative and likeable presenter!

    Beautiful great wheel. I enjoyed your presentation very much. I have a great wheel and was spinning on it today. I love it!

    Wow! Learned so much. Very interesting😊 thank you for the video
  • Always wanted to see a wauking wheel in operation. Thanks 4 the demo! We had a few of them scattered around where I used to work, but they were not operational. Smaller wheels at that time used 4 flax.

    Someone random walks into your house. Instantly explain how to clean wool and use a spinning wheel. 🤣 No but seriously, love the video

    I would love to see plying on the walking wheel!

    Correction: India created the chakra, NOT the Great Wheel. A chakra is a machine, yes, but much smaller (about the size of an attache case) and on the horizontal whereas the Great Wheel is vertical.

    Where is Daggett Fram located? I was born in Daggett, MI. The story was that the Daggett Brothers settled and starting a logging industry.
  • If you only spin the wheel in one direction, how do you wind the yarn onto the spool?
