Learning how to spin is learning the process of drawing out the fibers
and adding twist until you have created a continuous thread of stable
yarn. Starting out on a hand spindle is a great way to master the craft
with a minimum of expense and equipment. Drop spindles are ancient
tools that were a necessity in ancient times and are still used in many
parts of the world to produce thread and yarn. If you're thinking about
picking up a spindle for the first time, you may not know the difference
in spindle whorls and why they matter.
Learn the drop spinning process
from expert spinners and take pride into creating your very own handspun
yarn.
So, after reading this - Who would like to learn?
