Support Spindle and Bowl w/ 2oz Dyed Wool

Description

Walnut Farm Design's Support Spindle Kit includes instructions and 2 oz of hand-dyed fine Polwarth wool. Using a support spindle is a great way to spin while sitting anywhere. It's also great for learning to 'long draw'. I don't recommend a support spindle for an absolute beginner. This is a very sturdy, natural, unfinished wood spindle and bowl. The kit includes: an 11" unfinished wood drop spindle w/ leader string attached, matching wooden spinning bowl, 2 oz of handpainted Polwarth fiber perfect for spinning, and an easy to follow instruction sheet! The directions also include links to youtube video. I include these links because I am a visual learner! I take this very versatile spindle with me whenever I take a trip and it's easily used as a drop spindle as well. -spindle is unfinished wood and can be stained or painted to make it your own! -whorl is 2 1/2" in diameter -shaft is 11" long and has a little notch -100% fine hand-dyed Polwarth wool. I chose fine Polwarth combed top to include in my spindle kits because Polwarth is a fine, soft wool with a longer staple length than merino wool. A longer staple length fiber is easier to learn on and Polwarth makes a nice, strong singles yarn if you choose not to ply it. Comes from a pet-free, smoke free home and made with care to spread the joy and love of spinning your own fiber!
