This is a great student top whorl spindle with a fixed whorl and screw hook. Made by Ashford, right here in New Zealand from solid Silver beech hardwood.

A wonderful entry point into the world of spinning your own yarn! Many spinners begin with a drop spindle, to learn how to draft fibre at a slower pace than a wheel. It is also highly portable, so you can spin wherever you go!

We try our best to make our photos as accurate as possible but every screen displays colour slightly differently, so we cannot guarantee complete accuracy.  Hand-dyed yarns vary from one skein to the next so there will always be some variation between the photo and each individual skein. 

We highly recommend getting enough yarn for your project. To encourage this, you can exchange extra skeins if they are in their original condition, thus ensuring your project will have consistency. We dye in small, project sized batches, and don’t have dye lots.

Part of the hand dyed allure is each skein's individuality, even within a batch dyed at the same time. This gives final objects depth and nuance. 

With this in mind we recommend alternating skeins (every other row in flat knitting and every row in circular knitting) on larger projects creating a more cohesive blend.
