S1E2: All the Spindles
Jill Duarte really loves spindles. She starts with an intro to the 2 main categories of spindles -- supported and suspended (spoiler: supported is her absolute favorite). From there she goes through how each spindle spins in a series we call "How it Spins". She even spins a bit on a brand-new-to-her Dealgan! The episode wraps up with us all making a yarn on a cross arm suspended spindle.
