Learn to spin your own yarn!
This beginner spinning kit includes everything you need to start learning to spin your own yarn:
- Solid wood drop spindle - Weight 1.8oz and Whorl Diameter: 2.5"
- 1oz of pre-drafted BFL roving fiber
- Written instructions with a link to a video demonstration
What is pre-drafted roving fiber?
Standard roving fiber usually comes in a thick rope that spinners often peel apart or "draft" into an appropriate thickness for the yarn weight they want to spin. We draft our BFL fiber to about thumb thickness. In other words, the work of drafting has already been done for you. This allows a beginning spinner to concentrate on the hand movements of spinning, get into a spinning rhythm and experience quick success with a new craft.
When you've made your first hand-spun yarn, refill your fiber!
Use this kit to learn the basic drop spindle spinning techniques, then go wild with drafting, blending and plying! Our BFL fiber is available in 1oz and 4oz packages if you like working with it and want to practice with one of the other 40 hand-dyed colors. There is also a whole world of spinning fibers to explore, with different characteristics to help you achieve the unique yarn of your dreams. Check out a few of our options below!

Been using comb top I got from elsewhere but I've been having a grand time spinning yarn! I've made my second one thus far and it's longer and more even than my first 😁 happy with this product, and there's nothing I'd change! Was packed safely and I kept the box to keep the spindle in when not in use
