This isn't animated, but it shows how to whip without a tool:

Easier to perform and probably quicker too.


It can be, but if the skin on your hands is all roughed up like mine tend to
get during the winter tying season, snagging the thread makes the whole thing
a major pita, to the point that the Matarelli tool is actually faster and
neater...

Agreed, rough skin can mess up the whole project.

They say kneading dough to make bread smoothes the skin like silk :-)
