When you create something out of nothing, it makes you want to do it even more. Are you interested in learning how to spin your own yarn? One of the most basic ways to do this is by using a drop spindle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA drop spindle is a lightweight handheld device that allows you to spin yarn from fibre. A drop spindle is a great portable option to continue to spin no matter where you are. Drop spindles are available in a variety of lengths, weights, and styles. You would typically choose one that matches the needs of the fibre that you will be spinning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe general rule is when you are spinning lightweight fibres use a lighter spindle and use a heavier spindle when spinning heavier fibres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description-short lessmore\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"#\" class=\"readmore\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRead More\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description-full\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTop Whorl Drop Spindle versus Bottom Whorl Drop Spindle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are still trying to figure out what kind of drop spindle you need, here are the differences between top whorl and bottom whorl drop spindles: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003eTop whorl drop spindles are more lightweight and typically spin faster than bottom whorl drop spindles. However, the latter has proven to be better for plying yarns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003eTop whorl drop spindles are ideal for super fine, lace weight yarns. Bottom whorl spindles, on the other hand, are best suited for dealing with heavier fibres and spinning thicker yarns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003eTop whorl drop spindles are easier to load with fibre since these do not require wrapping in order to keep the finished yarn on the spindle. With bottom whorl drop spindles, the yarn is stored above the whorl and it requires a bit of wrapping if you want to keep the yarn on the spindle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDrop Spindle Spinning for Beginners\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrop spindle spinning is ideal for absolute beginners to the craft. It is a perfect introduction to spinning, before moving on to spinning wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA spindle is built of two main parts:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003eShaft - a long, straight stick.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\"\u003eWhorl - a cylinder in which the shaft goes through.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost modern spindles have an added feature, which is a hook at one end of the shaft. This gives the spinner an easy way of making sure the finished yarn does not easily fall off the spindle. Older spindles usually feature a simple notch on one end instead of a hook, which may not be ideal for beginner spinners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy Drop Spindle Online at Thread Collective Australia\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are looking for drop spindles for sale in Australia, you have found the right place.

Spinning with your fingers is a very slow process that will produce an irregular yarn. Using a drop spindle will ease the process. A drop spindle is made of a round stick to which a flat round disk has been attached. A string is attached to this disk and the drop spindle hangs with the disk down. On one hand the spinner holds fibres to be spun, the other hand takes small amounts of fibres and adds this to the existing yarn. Use a free hand to spin the drop spindle and the twisting movement of the drop spindle creates yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description-short lessmore\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"#\" class=\"readmore\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRead More\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description-full\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA huge improvement compared to the drop spindle is the use of the spinning wheel.
