Wonderful!!!
"I've been using this for months now and it's perfect. Light weight and easy to transport and use. Very easy to learn and get used to"
Great plying spindle
"I got this spindle to have a heavier large volume spindle to use for plying and it’s perfect for this task! I can ply at least 4 oz at a time, and I love that the spindle can pack flat."

Unfinished. A bit bulky to
"Unfinished. A bit bulky to use. Fast delivery."
A sturdy, well built spindle
"A sturdy, well built spindle that works well for a number of different weights of fiber. I especially like it for plying as it is well balanced and holds quite a lot of yarn."
Breaking the spin barrier
"I consider myself an experienced knitter so I jumped into spinning without hesitating. Come to find out there are considerable details that must be accounted for which make all the difference in the resulting yarn. When I bought the drop spindle I chose Romney Rove to spin, not knowing that it must be commed before being spun. I got nowhere fast until I learned that I could come the Rove by my fingers as I spun. (Romney is an extremely long and scruffy fiber). In conclusion, I am very happy to break the spin barrier and learn so much about spinning with very little investment. Thanks to The Woolery!"
