The simplest way of spinning wool or other fibres into a yarn is with a drop spindle.

Drop spindles have been used in many parts of the world for hundreds of years.

Even young children use them to spin yarn for their families.

This large one is made from recycled rimu and has a top whorl.

The kit includes full instructions, the drop spindle, a rolag of wool fibre ready to spin and a length of yarn to spin onto - everything you need to start spinning.
