Do try this at home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with something light \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/willowing-wool\/\">willowing wool<\/a>. This is how people opened up wool in European medieval times. The technique was also used to blend different qualities of wool and\/or colours. It was an actual and important occupation \u2013 Wollschl\u00e4ger in German (wool beater).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t plan to make this video. The idea just came to me one morning and I quickly set the stage on our terrace and started playing. As it turned out, many people watched the video and were inspired by the technique. Many people say it&#8217;s my best video. Perhaps because I&#8217;m clearly having a lot of fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do try this at home! It is hugely entertaining, especially if you can find a willowing partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spinning in the 14th century<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n_phoDeNiDs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;start=1&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>Spinning in the 14th century. Imagine the force and creativity of the collective thoughts of spinning women at the time!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s stay in the historical context for a moment and look at <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/medieval-style-spinning\/\">spinning in the 14th century<\/a> with a simple spindle stick and whorl and a distaff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best videos I make are the ones where I interact with someone. There is a connection and a true exchange of ideas, emotions and solutions that move the process forward. In this video where I spin on a medieval style spindle and distaff I got to interact on camera, which gave the video credibility. Not to mention the fun we had making it! My partner in craft is Maria Neijman, weaver, reenactor and authority on <a href=\"https:\/\/historicaltextiles.org\">historical textiles<\/a>. She made all the costumes we are wearing in the video and \u2013 perhaps most importantly \u2013 helped me get dressed for the occasion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sitting on that tree trunk, crafting and talking with Maria was a precious moment. Spinning helps me gather my thoughts and think more clearly. Trying my thoughts and reflections out on a friend makes them sharper. Imagine the force and creativity of the collective thoughts of spinning women at the time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch this video to remind yourself \u2013 or anyone else for that matter \u2013 about the importance spinning, and thereby women&#8217;s unpaid work, has had through history. What would have become of us if someone hadn&#8217;t realized they could roll plant fibers between their hands to make it stronger? What would the industrial revolution have looked like if it weren&#8217;t for Spinning Jenny?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ply on the fly on a Turkish spindle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y_JOAiXBYV8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;start=4&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s move on \u2013 in time and space. We are now in Austria, a couple of summers ago. I went out one morning in July and placed my tripod (well, a garden chair, really) and myself in the middle of a meadow. I dedicated my spinning to the morning air, the mountains and my Austrian heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One evening when there was a concert in the town I brought my Turkish spindle and plied it on the fly by the lake where all the people had gathered. One lady approached me, smiling, and told me how her mother used to spin. She thanked me for bringing out this sweet memory. Crafting in public can generate lots of smiles, memories or just peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plying on the fly is a fun and effective technique. Since it takes up a minimum of space it is a perfect method for spinning on the go \u2013 commuting or traveling. It can also be a way to reduce the risk of strain on your body since you alter between spinning and plying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t tried plying on the fly before, why not try now! You can do it on other suspended spindles as well as on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZxNMqyIDNPc\">supported spindle<\/a>. If not, just enjoy the scenery and think of bringing your spindle to see the world. How do you craft in public?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spinning cotton on an Akha spindle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mmfE06bqwH4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>How do you dance your spindle?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For this video we change location, technique and fiber. Spinning cotton is for me a true art of trust and patience. I need to trust the short fibers enough to cling on to each other and be patient enough to wait for them to do so before I make the draft. Spinning on an Akha spindle also gives the spinning sort of a choreographic dimension \u2013 the changing of techniques and direction of the spinning turns the process into a dance between spindle, hands and gaze. The fibers act as the artistic director and the spindle is the choreographer. I&#8217;m just the dancer, following the instructions the fiber and spindle give me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I shot this video at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saterglantan.se\">S\u00e4tergl\u00e4ntan craft education center<\/a> when I taught a <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/teaching-spinning-at-saterglantan\/\">five-day course in supported spindle spinning<\/a>. The place bursts with creativity, craft and true inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch this video to find a flow of the movements in your spinning. Just spin for the dance of it without concerning about the resulting yarn. <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/process\/\">How do you dance your spindle<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For the love of spinning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nAAC34HDj1U?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>Watch this video to find your spinning spirit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The last two videos I want to show you are more about mindset and process than specific spinning tools or techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first of these is about the essence of my <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/new-video-for-the-love-of-spinning\/\">love for spinning<\/a>. There are so many emotions connected to this simple and foundational craft that give me such joy and peace. In the video I also bring out my inner spinning poet to capture these emotions to the best of my ability. The places we filmed are places that are very dear to me \u2013 at home, in a log cabin in Tiveden and in Salzkammergut, Austria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch this video and reflect over why you spin. What is it that makes you want to spin for more than the resulting yarn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A meditation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tKn3-mdjkaw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>Meditate along or just find your spinning mindset.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A video that is sprung out of the previous video is <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/a-meditation\/\">A meditation<\/a>. I wanted to capture the mental state that spinning gives me and portray how spinning  can be \u2013 and is for me \u2013 similar to meditation. How my thoughts come and go along with the fibers that pass through my fingers. Touching, representing the moment but not lingering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video was shot by a 17th century industrial estate with a few gristmills and a working <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/the-fulling-mill\/\">fulling mill<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use this video to think about what part  spinning plays in your mind. Or, you can meditate to the video. Go to your meditation space \u2013 literally or mentally \u2013 and spin along with me. How do you meditate your spinning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>These are some of my favourite oldies among my spinning videos.
