There are a few Simple Steps to learning how to use a Drop Spindle to make your own yarn!  Handspinning is like learning to ride a bicycle.  It just takes a little practice to get your balance and rhythm, using the forces of gravity and motion to twist fibers together.  

Wool is the easiest fiber to start with, but you can spin mohair, alpaca, cotton, linen or just about any fiber with a drop spindle, just as people have for centuries.  

You can use pre-processed, carded combed fiber, or process your own raw fiber. View my fiber preparation tutorial.

I learned to spin yarn when I was very young, over 35 years ago.  

This instructional class will encourage and inspire your creativity.

This Beginner Tutorial breaks down the process of using a Drop Spindle step by step for beginners and is also a good refresher for those who have forgotten the steps.  

Digital files are available automatically for download after purchase payment clears.

You can print this PDF file on your home printer.

Basic Equipment needed:
Drop Spindle or Weighted Stick

Celebrate the things in Life that really count, things that make you smile & your heart sing. Then, we each can share this with others to make a better world. - Amy C. Lund

Spinning, Knitting and Weaving since childhood, I find order and rhythm in clean, simple designs which utilize and enhance the materials and techniques and bring them together - getting back to basics with an earthy rustic feel.  

My finished products have timeless classic style suitable for any traditional rustic antique - filled primitive vintage farmhouse, french country cottage chic, coastal seaside retreat, mountain hideaway cabin, contemporary industrial loft, or modern Scandinavian - Nordic urban home decor.

It's all about how you style it!

TECHNIQUE & ARTISTIC DETAILS

Detail and commitment to artistry separate my hand woven textiles from many others.

I work with traditional hand and foot powered tools.

Most pieces are hemmed and finished by hand, made one-of a kind, or in short runs.

I am not a production artist, and do not make 100s of the same thing.  

That is the art of the craft! 

CARE & USE

With attention to care, handmade textiles will last a long time and bring continued enjoyment, although just as with anything, they may not last forever.  

You will find the long-term values outweigh the costs of things in your everyday environment that are more temporary or disposable.

Enjoy Artful Living with simple, sophisticated and stylish textiles.

Handmade textiles make unique gifts that give pleasure in the simplest of ways, highlighting holidays, celebrations and special occasions.

Treat yourself, or give a gift that keeps on giving.

I focus on classic patterns, colors, and textures that will fit in both traditional vintage or modern contemporary lifestyles and décor.

Heirloom home decor furnishings, textiles, table linens & fashion accessories hand woven in natural cotton, linen, wool, alpaca & mohair, last for years.
