Working this way has another advantage. Most of the spinning is Z singles, so during most of my spinning time I can free my right hand in a split second by releasing the handspindle. This means that I can drop the spindle quickly to stir the boiling pot, grab the wayward child, answer the telephone, or attend to any other need that comes up. When the fibers are wrapped around my hand, freeing that hand is more complicated. When I ply off the nostepinne, as I usually do and as I will teach you to do (pages 151 to 153), I have no problem freeing either hand when necessary.
