Dec 22 We have been experiencing major downtimes with
our internet connection due to snow and ice storms interfering with the
satellite reception. We are periodically connecting through our very
slow dial-up to try get your order for Ed to make.
Unfortunately our email system doesn't recognize the dial-up connection
which makes it difficult to reply in a timely manner.

Fiber Sample Packs! $8
Want to spin different fibers without the expense of buying several
ounces of each type?
Try a Fiber Sample Pack!
(Click for bigger) Each bag will contain a mix of more than an ounce of
various fibers such as -
Roving: Corriedale pencil roving, Lincoln, Merino, llama, Finn; Silk . Bags may vary slightly depending on what I have on hand.
It's a terrific way to spin various fibers without a huge
outlay of money.
Jenkins Turkish spindles are excellent
for beginners - The weight and excellent balance enables the spindle to spin up
to a full minute, while the crossarms will keep the spindle upright during the park
and draft stage - you can even use it like a support spindle. Advanced spinners can spin a thread of silk with these
spindles that hold a fast, long spin.
Yarn Gauge $10
Choose from Bolivian Rosewood, Canary or Purpleheart (pictured)
Yarn gauges are handy tools to determine the Wraps Per Inch
(the thickness) of your handspun yarn.
Spinner's Walking Pouch
Pattern
This
pouch is designed for the spinner who loves walking while spinning. Wanda
designed this pouch after wishing she had a safe place for her wool and spindle
during early morning walks with her daughter and dog. The long strap
slings over a shoulder leaving both hands free to spin. This pouch is wide enough for your ball of
roving, spindle and a wallet.
Spinner's Walking Pouch knits up quickly with large needles and wool rovings.
Spinner's Walking Pouch Pattern only $2.50 which includes sheet protector and
S&H.
Order print-your-own .pdf for only $1.00.

Turkish Spindles are a challenge to make. All four
arms need to balance for the the spindle to rotate without a wobble, and the
shaft a certain thickness & length. With woodworking skills, meticulous design
work, and mathematical calculation Ed is able to produce spindles that spinners
love.
