creating yarn on a Saori bobbin winder

All full size saori looms come with a built in bobbin winder built right into the loom. This is a fantastic feature handy always close for winding bobbins but did you know you can spin and ply yarn on the bobbin winder as well?  If you already know how to spin on a spindle or wheel or charka this is easier , however to take a class at a saori studio would  help.
making and plying yarn with the saori bobbin winder

I used wool roving, un spun wool, and here and below some  some cotton warp yarn I swept off the studio floor


One of a kind art yarn 

four yarns plying

and this is how the yarn looks  when woven as weft

no need to wind the yarn on a bobbin it is already on a bobbin just insert it into a shuttle and weave with fabulous results
