Description: Supported spindles offer an efficient, accessible way to spin yarn—especially woolen-style yarns—thanks to their fast spin, portability, and suitability for seated use. They encourage techniques like long draw and double drafting, which are ideal for spinning soft, airy yarns from short-stapled fibers, rolags, or even prepared tops. With a manageable learning curve and the right setup (including fiber, spindle, and bowl), supported spindles can improve both your handspinning and wheel-spinning skills.
