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.

The bobbins have a sheave with three settings that can be used to obtain three spinning speeds or ratios.

The SchachtLadybug Spinning Wheel is friendly to entry-level spinners. It’s easy to treadle, easy to take with you, and…as cute as a bug! The Ladybug has the characteristic solid Schacht construction, and its unique design is both functional and charming. Designed-in carrying handles in the legs and lightweight make the Ladybug convenient to pick up and transport. An optional attached tensioned lazy kate integrates into the front leg and makes it easy to take along, too!
The Ladybug can be used in Scotch tension and double drive modes. It comes with medium and fast flyer whorls; add the extra slow, slow, high, and super high-speed whorls for a wide range of ratios.
Included with each wheel are a poly drive band, threading hook, three travel bobbins, medium and fast whorls, and a double drive band. Each Ladybug wheel is unique—somewhere on your wheel is your very own Ladybug pal.
