You spin me right round…

There is a spinning wheel, with all the vaarks sitting on the treadle and Ernest spinning a thread

We found the spinning wheel, so we decided to try our snozzles at spinning! How hard can it be?

There is a spinning wheel, with all the vaarks sitting on the treadle and Ernest spinning a thread

We all stood on the treadle and jumped up and down, and Ernest held the roving to spin it

The thread gets twisted from the roving, and goes up to the wheel…

Ernest holds the roving and the vaarks are all on the treadle at an angle

And then it winds onto a bobbin, as it gets twisted into a thread.

Peggy and Gino look at the bobbin with thread on it.

Oh! Ernest! Let go!

Ernest is being lifted up by the thread.

Oh, no! Ernest, DON’T let go!

Ernest is lifted up almost to the bobbin

Oh my, oh Ernest, you nearly got spun!

Ernest’s snozzle is wrapped round the bobbin as Peggy and Gino look on in alarm

Ernest needed a big hug after that. Just goes to show, you shouldn’t mess with equipment you don’t know!

Ernest recovers with a hug from the others.
