Want to learn spinning without buying an expensive spinning wheel? Why not start on an Ashford Drop Spindle!
Made from beautiful beech timber, the Ashford range of Drop Spindles are a delight to use. These affordable Spindles are also light weight, making them portable to take anywhere with you.
Spinners have been creating yarn with drop spindles for millennia and we have a wide range of styles from which to choose. Spin a wide range of fibres from superfine on the lightest spindle to long lustrous fleece on the heaviest spindle.
