ADDITIONAL DETAILS
The Fiber
Corriedale has become ubiquitous in hand spinning, and with good reason. This versatile fiber is beginner-friendly, yet yields excellent result that seasoned spinners appreciate.
The Drop Spindle
We take care ensuring these spindles spin true, giving every spindle a test spin prior to shipment. The conical shape of the maple whorl puts additional weight around the rim, helping the spindle spin longer and stay more stable. A notch in the whorl helps keep your spun yarn in place. The spindles are individually crafted in Cincinnati, OH of maple and beech from domestic and international sources. The spindle is 10" long, rounded on both tips, has a 2.5" whorl, and weighs 1.8 ounces.
