Moving yarn with a drill

Here is a very poor video of me transferring some singles off a wheel bobbin and onto, well a weaving bobbin. I bought them a couple years ago to hold my yarn back when I only had drop spindles. The white bobbin doesn't fit in my flier, so I can't spin onto it, but it does fit on my Lazy-ish Kate bar, so I can ply off of it.



Anyway, the drill method works much better than the mixer method, though they are aiming for different goals.  Luckily, these white bobbins fit into my husband's drill, for the most part (you'll see the adjusting).



So yes, moving yarn with a drill. Not super interesting, no audio, and sped up quite a bit, but hopefully it'll help somebody.
