Spinning Yarn



My friend Colleen is a NYC Designer and she sometimes spins her own yarn. This allows her to use wool roving and other found fibers and threads and customize the yarns that she makes. It is a very difficult process until you get the hang of it. She uses a 2" Hi-Lo Drop Spindle.



She uses wool roving that she buys online from The Yarn Tree in Brooklyn at 347 Bedford Ave. off the L train, you can also buy a drop spindle here
