How to Shear a Sheep  Knit Socks

Do You Want to Learn to Spin?

Have a yen to get your Fingers in some Fiber?
Not quite ready to invest several hundred dollars on a Spinning Wheel?
 

Spindles have been in use for centuries, and can do everything an expensive Spinning Wheel can do -- for pennies!  Drop Spindles fit in your bag and go with you anywhere. Navajo Spindles have been used for many in America by Navajo spinners; learn how they do it.   With a Supported Spindle Grande, sit comfortably in a chair while you spin, and watch the yarn appear magically from your fingers.  Give it a SPIN...Try your hand...

Do something NEW -- try a craft only 6000 years old!

The Traditional Navajo Spindle is the type and style used by the Navajo ladies in Arizona as they spin their wonderful yarn for their rugs.  I have sold these spindles to Navajos in northern Arizona!  Your kit will come with the spindle (ready to assemble), and compete "How to Spin" instructions. The shaft is about 18".  $14.95 + S&H

This is a spindle that I designed.  I enjoy spinning from the comfort of a chair.  The shaft is much longer so you can sit easily and the disc is larger to keep the momentum going while your spin.
