This is how I make a simple drop spindle in about 1 minute.
This is what you need.
- 1 wooden craft wheel
- 1 dowel the same size as the wheel center
- 1 cup hook
- glue
I took a my wheel (Treaded Tire 2-3/4") and put it on a 3/8" wood dowel.
Then twisted a cup hook on the top.
If it doesn't fit snug you can add a drop or two of glue. I have used all kinds of glue even kids glue from the dollar store.
Now you have a drop spindle. You are ready to make yarn!
I think I want to decorate this one but I don't have time to paint today.

I should have done this. Instead I made a quick solution and used a knitting needle and a ball of yarn to make a drop spindle :) It worked ok as well for a while, until the ball started to drop off all the time:)
You have made very good yarn there and the blue looks so fresh color!
I didn't know you could do that! That is a very creative idea! I hope to get a NICE drop spindle in the future but until then this works well.
