Description
Drop spindle spinning gives you the skills you need to learn to spin and are a portable, fun way of spinning. It is also a very relaxing mindful hobby. Even if you can’t knit you can consider using a small loom or other uses for your wool.
This kit includes everything you need to get started:
Approximately min 50g of British rare breed wool blended with soft Merino. The Whiteface Dartmoor & Greyface Dartmoor spinning fibre is hand processed completely by myself from shearing on the farm to kit. It is skirted and picked through, soaked and then washed thoroughly before drying in the sun. The next step is to dye the fibres, some with natural dyes and then carded by hand.
Also included in your kit is a lustrous bunch of mixed curls from the Whiteface Dartmoor & Greyface Dartmoor sheep and also Teeswaters.
A hand made wooden spindle with top whorl (the round heavy bit!).
Full colour instructions to walk you through the basics and get you going. Just to say…it’s very addictive!
