drop spindles
A drop spindle is a simple tool used for spinning fibers into yarn. It consists of a shaft and a weighted whorl that helps maintain momentum while spinning. Users attach a fiber, such as wool or cotton, to the spindle and twist it to create yarn. This method of spinning is ancient and has been used in various cultures around the world.
Drop spindles are portable and easy to use, making them popular among crafters and fiber artists. They allow for a hands-on approach to spinning, enabling individuals to create custom yarns for projects. Many people enjoy using drop spindles as a relaxing and creative hobby.
