I’ve been spending my quiet moments spinning away on my Tibetan spindle (and might have acquired two more support spindles) and have reached the point of plying.
This dealgan was a purchase from several years ago and is made by Fox Mountain Spindles. It is a traditional Scottish whorl-less spindle that has been used historically for both spinning and plying. I figured that this would be the PERFECT spindle for doing my current project. I love the rhythm and speed of plying and it certainly flys on the spindle. It certainly helps when you love the fibre tools you’re using also 😉
Do you use a dealgan? If so, do you spin with it, ply with it, or both?
Beautiful plying. Impressive. I have seen this and backed away … 🙂
