@aerial.borealis – Great point. You can cultivate enough tension without the spool wraps by pushing the hip of the crocheted leg firmly into the pole as you wrap the first tail over the free leg front to back, keeping the wrap tight to the body with minimal slack. That can give you a stable place to work from for wrapping the second tail back to front. Being able to find friction without numerous wraps is a constant skill for finding more options in silks training!
