The Rakestraw Spinner is different! Unlike the regular drop spindle, the Spinner never drops, just twirls. You spin it like a party noisemaker, and it's even more fun!

Spin in the car, on a boat, in the air, 'most anywhere.
Arthritis,
Fibromyalgia,
tendonitis...even broken bones...won't hurt while using the Rakestraw Spinner.
Wonderful for children, for the elderly, for everyone and anyone!

The Spinner is followed by the Plying Paddle, using Andean plying. The process is simple and comfortable, easy to use, and suitable not only with the Rakestraw Spinner, but with any spun singles from a drop spindle or a spinning wheel.

Fibers are HERE! Bamboo, Soy Silk, and Gotland Top and Fleece (the Lord of the Rings fiber) are just a few. Rovings and spun fiber are here for you! And tucked in here and there will be knit and crocheted goodies for you to wear.

Come see our antique wheels and yarn winders, our new Trilooms, and Charkhas! Lots more coming...Watch for it!

THE SPIN STARTS HERE!

C'mon in to our Spinning World, where we have a shopping cart, a user forum, a calendar of events, and MUCH MORE coming!
