First, you need a drop spindle that is well-balanced. Choose a spindle that does not weigh too much. Bring 1/2 ounce of prepared fiber, preferably wool of medium-grade of the right color, a small masking tape and a piece of wool starter yarn measuring 24 to 30 inches in length. The Drop Spindle It is very important that you get a good drop spindle. These strings had various sizes and were laced and knotted together to create several functional items, like home covering and clothes. A lot of weavers today still use the technique of finger weaving, wherein threads are knotted and laced together using only the hands. During the Neolithic Age, the first weaving looms were created and developed. Moreover, their ancestors actually started out trying to figure everything they could with bamboo for more than seven thousand years ago. Some particular places in China were actually quite popular for the production of some distinctive woven bamboo products, such as Hubei provinces, Shengxian, Dongyang, Jiang an of Sichuan province, Hunan, and Anji of the Zhejian province. More on the Great Wheel The great wheel measures more than 5 feet tall. The huge drive wheel turns the minor spindle assembly, while the spindle revolves several times for every turn of the drive wheel. The left hand constantly controls the wool tension so that you always get even results. When enough yarn has been created, the wheel can be spun backwards just a little distance to unwind the spindle spiral. The early human originally used weaving to help seek for basic needs like clothing, food and shelter. The early people may have discovered the technique and enhanced it by observing how birds make nests, how spiders make webs and how beavers make dams. All these natural activities involved the interlacing of different materials like vines or twigs. Ensure that everything remains secure and tight. Slowly weave the yarn across the strings found at the base. Weave the yarn over and under the base strings evenly. The weave becomes uneven or may even present holes if you do not weave properly or make mistakes. Once you get to the opposite end of the base, loop the string over to the side then weave again to the side where you started.
