The new shop has a kitchen and it is coming along wonderfully!
Don’t you just love these cabinets? We do!
We have a wide selection of whorls to aid the hand-spinner in achieving the best spinning speed for the task at hand
- A high speed bobbin is required for high speed and super high speed whorls when spinning in double drive.
- High speed bobbins are not required for Scotch tension mode.
This magical multi-purpose tool will become an indispensable companion to both weavers and spinners.
Sporting 1/2″ and 1″ measures, the Dizzy Yarn Gauge can be used as a weaver’s set gauge or spinner’s yarn gauge, as well as a diz for making a consistent sliver for spinning.
The long needle point of this oil bottle is ideal for getting to all those hard-to-reach places on spinning wheels and other small machines.
Filled with 1/2 oz. of motor oil
