Having your own spinning wheel allows you to make beautiful yarn exactly the way you want it. You are in control; you can choose which fibres to use and blend the colours till they are just right. Handspun yarn is more attractive than commercial yarn, resulting in eye-catching jumpers and hand-woven cushions. Not only will you end up with a better product, you will get more enjoyment out of your knitting or weaving if you use handspun wool. Modern spinning wheels are much easier to use than traditional ones, and the new portable travel wheels allow you to transform spinning into a fantastic social occasion with a group of friends.

Advantages of Handspun Yarn
Handspun yarn introduces an attractive unevenness to knitting in contrast to the mechanical regularity of most commercial yarns, softening lines and adding a natural look to your work. Using natural dyes on your handspun wool adds a vibrancy that comes only from hand-crafted work. Learn more about hand-spinning here.
