[AUDREY WELLNER]

Joyce, 
    Here are two sites concerning Navajo drop spinning.  The first site is loaded with a lot of information about wool prep and has a multitude of videos available. 
    http://www.joyofhandspinning.com/spindle-types.shtml
 
    This second site seems to be more concise in the explanation of what helps the spindle stay in place and the tension/rhythm needed for the proper ply.

    Hope these help,

Has anyone of you done any spinning on a Navaho dropped spindle?  I  have 
one and have searched the internet and can not find any detailed  description 
on how to do it.  Since this is suppose to make thicker type  one ply yarn 
I thought that might be easier then the drop spindles that you make  the 
thinner stuff and then ply strands together.
