You will receive 100g of British Romney wool top, one drop spindle and an illustrated instruction guide.
What is wool top?
Wool top is fleece that has been cleaned and prepared so that the fibres are aligned and ready for spinning.
Can I make finished yarn with this kit?
Yes. The kit teaches you how to draft and twist the wool fibres into your own handspun yarn. The finished texture and thickness will depend on your technique and the style of yarn you choose to create.
Is the wool from your own flock?
Yes. The Romney wool included in this kit comes from our own flock, raised on Romney Marsh in Kent.
Will the wool always look exactly the same?
As wool is a natural fibre, there may be subtle variations in colour, texture and character. These natural differences make every batch and every handspun yarn individual.
