Lekker vanuit de losse pols. Woorden die in me opkwamen tijdens het kijken naar iemand die door New York City wandelt en muziek maakt on the spot #ARIatHOME

I’ve been #spindlespinning while #cycletouring. This is the first small bit ~ 16 grams that I plied today. Now I appreciate my #spinningwheels even more and my respect for #spindlespinners greatly increased. It is an excellent lightweight hobby for on the road. #TourDeFleece

“I’ve seen Disney movies, I know my job as a friendly animal is to help you with that spinning wheel! I’m a good helper!”
Narrator: “He was not, in fact, a good helper.”

Ihr seht doch auch, was das mal wird, wenns fertig ist? Ein paar elementare Teile fehlen noch...

I guess it's ovious what this is going to be, when it's finished... A few important parts are missing.

I have a book charkha. I’ve watched this video from Joan Ruane (I mostly loathe video, but she comes highly recommended as a spinning teacher and it was efficient and informative, so that’s okay.)

She recommends using Vaseline to keep the wheels spinning easily.

This article from Spin Off magazine talks about spinning wheel oil:

I don’t have either of those right now. Would sewing machine oil also work?

Unexpected beginning to a sentence: "As Gandhi explained to Charlie Chaplin in 1931..."
I mean, no surprises finding Gandhi in the Wikipedia article on spinning wheels, but in conversation with Chaplin??
The full sentence is worth quoting: "As Gandhi explained to Charlie Chaplin in 1931, the return to spinning did not mean a rejection of all modern technology but of the exploitative and controlling economic and political system in which textile manufacture had become entangled."
Citation needed, apparently, but the two did indeed meet in 1931. There are pictures.

@karenshancock @smitty I'm enjoying my "new" castle. It's a Thumbelina from the 1980s, i think. But I am still partial to my Ashford traditional, too. #SpinningWheels
