For those new to cotton spinning ... it is different than spinning with animal fibers...it's a bit shorter and slicker than wools ... so prepare thy self.
There are some great videos out there to help you learn: Joan Ruane is the cotton spinning diva in my book! She has many videos to help you learn.
I also made a video!
Whether you are on a wheel, drop or supported spindle,
I urge you to "give it a whorl" (sorry) . Spinning cotton
can be a-d-d-i-c-t-i-n-g!
