The fiber will be held by the left hand while the wheel is slowly turned with the control of the right hand. According to expert seamstress, the fiber should be held at a particular slight angle to the spindle so that there is a wonderful and noticeable twist. After spinning the yarn, it should be wound right onto the spindle by moving the fiber like as if forming a right angular shape with the spindle.

The drive band on the double drive wheel is made of non-stretch twine or yarn. Sometimes, candlewick can be used. 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.
