Detailed Description
Drop spindle spinning is one of the oldest methods of making yarn. Using gravity and twist, a spindle transforms loose fiber into continuous thread without the need for a spinning wheel.
This kit includes a 3 oz (85 g) Kromski drop spindle, a versatile weight suitable for beginners and adaptable enough to produce fine to medium yarns.
The 4 inch (10 cm) whorl provides stable, extended rotation, making it easier to control twist and draft consistency—especially important for new spinners developing technique.
The included Polish merino wool (4 oz / 114 g) is soft, fine and easy to draft. It allows beginners to:
– practice fiber drafting control
– experiment with yarn thickness
– understand how twist builds strength in yarn
The matching niddy noddy helps wind finished yarn into skeins for measuring and setting twist.
A starter leader yarn is also included so you can begin spinning immediately.
This kit supports the full learning process: fiber → yarn → skein.
