Drop Spindle An interchangeable Turkish spindle! This drop spindle can be a used as a high or low whorl spindle so it is perfect for new spinners who want to try out different spinning methods. As you wind your yarn around the arms of your Turkish spindle, you create a center pull ball! This spindle weighs approximately 35 grams, which is a versatile medium weight spindle that can be used for both spinning singles and plying your yarn. 80700 Your Cost $14.99

Niddy NoddyAfter you spin your own yarn, wind it around a niddy noddy to create a hank. A niddy noddy can also be used to measure your handspun yarn so you know if you have enough to knit or crochet a project.
