Spinning with Shetland Kit

Try your hand at drop-spindling with creamy White Shetland Roving paired with our handmade Paradise Fibers Artisan Drop Spindles. Our 29 micron Shetland top is light and soft with a gentle sheen and 3.5" staple length. Our well-balanced wooden drop spindles have a polished finish and an 8" shaft which allows "down the thigh" propulsion for high-speed spinning. Enjoy tutorials from Schacht and Interweave sent directly to your inbox to help you get started hand spinning!
