SPINDLING Method 3 - adding a texture wrap thread to your art yarn on a drop spindle

Is it possible to create an "auto-wrap" or "wrapped" texture while drop spindling? Yes, if you are comfortable with adjusting your spindling angles! In this method we will experiment with different types of threads and fiber to create yarns that are wrapped with a thread texture for knitting, weaving, or crochet. As in all my SPINDLING method videos, I will be spinning this technique on a large spindle, and Sarah (a self-taught technical spinner) will be on a smaller spindle.
