The video clip is AMAZING...thank you.  What a great tip!  I'm forever spinning more than my arms can reach and never thought about winding back up on my fingers.  So simple yet elegant!

Such a great tip.  I'm short but I like to spin till the spindle nearly reaches the floor then have a hard time winding the yarn on the spindle.  I love your tip!
