SPINNING:
Small Tools & Accessories
DROP SPINDLES
One of the very oldest of the world’s tools, still an effective way
of making yarn: easy, portable, inexpensive. The Louet has a turned
veneer plywood whorl (the bottom whirl has a hook on top, top whirl
– hook on bottom); the Davidson has the hook on the bottom. The Schacht
4" and 3" are now "hi-lo", with a hook at the
whorl end and a notch at the other, for either high or low whorling.
The long-shafted Schacht Navajo is a hip-roll spindle. The Schacht
Pear Tahkli has a brass shaft with a hook, a pear-shaped maple whorl. |

HANDCARDS & FLICK CARDERS
Bent teeth set in rubberized canvas for easy action and long life. Hardwood
handles and backs. Handcards come in pairs that work together; Flick Carders
come singly.
Basic instructions for Drop Spindles & Handcards are free with
order - just ask. Or find them on our web-site: go "Home" and
then to "Instructions".
NIDDY NODDIES
Traditional turned-wood skein-makers. One end comes off the Reeves, for
easier storage, secured while working with a steel locking-pin. The Country
Craftsman needs to be glued (permanently) together. The Louet has two
shafts with different lengths, for a choice of two skein lengths.
MINI COMBS An alternative to handcards — a single row of longer,
stiffer teeth set into a 2 x 4 inch base attached to a handle. Made by
Louet.
SPINNING EQUIPMENT OIL A special blend formulated for spinning
wheels and drum carders. Apply a drop to each of the wear points of your
equipment.
