Bobbin Winding - an Alternative Way

Winding a Tapestry Bobbin

1. Holding the bobbin in your right hand lay yarn over the spindle with the yarn away from you.

2. Wind the yarn onto the bobbin for a few turns then hitch on.

3. Tensioning the yarns with your left hand turn the bobbin with your right hand away from you. Fill the bobbin evenly.

4. Turning the bobbin keeps multiple strands from twisting. Finish with a half hitch.
