You might recall Ben Kingsley in the movie spinning on one of these. It includes 3 spindles, cotton drive band, a skeiner and instructions. Everything folds up into a case that has the contours of a hardback book. Ideal for spinning short staple fibers such as cotton or lamb's fine wool into fine yarns. Also good for silk, angora, dog hair, or any fine fiber.
Polyurethane drive band - continuous, smooth surface.
No need for splicing of cotton drive band, trying to make a smooth connection. Just turn the large whorl with your foot and spin off the tip of the spindle. Beautifully crafted of cherry or walnut and hand-finished with several coats of Danish oil and a final coat of Crystalwax finishing wax for a nice sheen. Each spindle has been spun-tested by the manufacturer and comes with instructions and a starter spun yarn. Simply set it on a table or on the floor to operate.
