Description
The drop spindle is ideal for anyone wishing to learn how to hand spin. This inexpensive spindle gives you an insight into draughting the wool fibre and the amount of twist required to make yarn. The yarn made with a drop spindle can be used as a single strand for crochet and weaving. It can also be used to ply strands of yarn together for knitting.
The spindle is made of wood and is robust. Spinning on a drop spindle can be undertaken when out and about, waiting and travelling. The wool is Texel. It has been washed and carded for immediate use. This Texel sheep lives close to the Paton and Daughter workshop..
