    Photos are of the item that you will receive. It has been stored in a smoke free, climate controlled home. The kit contains a standard-sized drop spindle, combed and carded sheep’s fleece, and complete history and instructions.
    This unopened drop spindle is a replica of an ancient device used to spin wool into yarn. It has been used throughout the world and is still in use today.
    “It consists of a shaft and a whorl. The whorl acts as a flywheel to help spin the spindle shaft. The spinning motion causes the wool fibers to twist into a long strand of yarn. The simplicity and effectiveness of a drop spindle gives it advantages over the more complicated and costly spinning wheel.”
