Hand-spinning dates back a long time ago during the reign of the ancient Indian, Egyptian and Chinese civilizations. Things evolved further with the introduction of two “breakthroughs” in spinning- the drop spindle and the iconic (thanks to legendary Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi) spinning wheel. Hand-spinning remained quite the same through the years, although some modern techniques have been integrated into the craft.

Spinning wool, Angora, and other fibers from natural and synthetic sources is a pleasant experience to spinners everywhere. The thought of seeing fibers coming together to form yarn gives them a great feeling of joy and satisfaction. This feeling becomes even more intense when the yarn that came from spinning gets weaved into products like mittens, hats and sweaters.
