5 Spinning Cotton on the Charkha video
Posted by Carol Hassell on Nov 7th 2022
What a great video! I am new to charkha spinning and find this information from Eileen so very helpful. I'm using it as a tutorial to get myself familiar with this very different way to spin. Her explanations and demonstrations are excellent. Thanks!

4 Digital Download review
Posted by Eyejs on Feb 25th 2016
Good information in this digital download. My charkha arrived a few days after I had downloaded this so it was great to watch it first and then re watch following the steps with the charkha. Haven't got to Part 2 yet. Would have appreciated being able to download more than once and have it on to more than one device ie tablet as well as desk top.
