    Cotton spinning made easy

    Posted by Marlene Randall on Jul 18th 2019

    I'm very happy with this how to spin cotton DVD. I watched the beginner section before setting up my charkha and was successfully spinning cotton only minutes after. Eileen is a wonderful teacher.

    This is an absolutely excellent instructional DVD! I love the way that Eileen goes into the fine details of using the Charkha and she repeats information which helps a very beginner to really understand the process. Thanks so much for making this valuable instructional DVD.

    I'm so happy that I chose this DVD. Eileen Hallman takes you from the opening of the Charkha, adjusting and using, to closing the box with patience and clarity. I wish that I'd had this DVD to view before receiving my Charkha.
