Handspinning is the art of twisting fiber into a continuous thread by hand or by using a spinning wheel. The thread can be spun thick or thin, plyed or unplyed, and can later be dyed or left natural. Handspun yarn can be used for knitting, and weaving projects. You can also use unspun fiber for knitting, weaving and felting.
Here you will find all the information you need to teach yourself the art of handspinning. Our web site includes several video demonstrations to assist you in learning various techniques, along with articles of helpful information.
Our online catalog provides you with the finest and most economical spinning and carding equipment, fiber tops and rovings, books and more.
