Ashford Drop Spindle

Ashford makes several different models of drop spindles. Sold separately.

We do not stock them so expect a ship delay until our next shipment, approx 2-4 weeks.

So portable. Spinners have been creating yarn with drop spindles for millennia and Ashford offers a wide range of styles from which to choose. All are made from Silver beech hard wood.
