More about the Rakestraw Spinner
The Rakestraw Spinner is your spinning companion no matter where you are. The Spinner is extremely portable and perfect to take on holiday. It is only 7 inches long and one 1 inch wide but less fragile to carry than a drop spindle. You can use it on the train, bus or car, or even when walking, either close to home or far away.
 These Mayan Spinner-style spinners are great for anyone who struggles to use a drop spindle or who is learning to spin. If you suffer from arthritis, fibromyalgia, or tendonitis, you can carry on spinning with the Rakestraw Spinner. Wonderful for children, who pick it up straight away, for the elderly, and for everyone and anyone! It almost spins itself and can be more productive than a drop spindle.
Price includes one Rakestraw Spinner with blade and handle, cotton mini tote bag and instruction booklet.

‘even with a broken collar bone I've managed to use it. No way could I use a drop spindle. I can't thank you enough for introducing me to this wonderful piece of equipment. Will continue to sing it's praises (and yours).’ Maureen from Cheshire.
Note (1) - Rakestraw spinner woods
Only the blade of the spinner comes in a range of exotic woods, the shaft is in poplar (see photos) for balance and effectiveness.
