Video: Twisting Japanese Silk Thread

My best friend Craig and I were hanging out, so I had him shoot a video of me twisting Japanese silk thread since I wasn't able to get any pictures of it when I was doing it on my own. Hopefully this will make the process a little clearer:


As a caveat, I'm not an expert at this, by any means, as I'm just learning the process, but I hope this may be useful for anyone who's interested in learning Japanese embroidery or is just a little curious about how it's done. This is described in multiple books on JE, but sometimes it's helpful to see a demonstration.
