Learn to Spindle Spin @ Grey Heron




Spinning Daily best discribes " Spindle Spinning" 
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.
