Hand Wool Spinning Starter kit - Includes Drop Spindle, Instructions and 4 Shades of Heritage Sheep Wool rovings

Q: What breed of sheep does the fibre come from? Product title says Finnish sheep but then material is listed below as merino...

As my question has disappeared, in less than a week, I'll post my answer here what I found after some research. As far as I understand, all the wool is Finnsheep, which belongs to the group of Northern short-tailed primitive races of sheep. There are three different genetic patterns with different sheep characteristics: Landrace, Aland sheep, and Kainuu Grey. The Kainuu Grey lambs are born black, but start to fade very early. Other colours are brown and black, and white which is the most common. In other words, none of the woo in the kit is dyed. One company describes Finnsheep as similar to Blue Faced Leicester (also recommended to as a good beginner spinning wool - merino is not considered to be easy to learn with) but it classifies Blue Faced Leicester as fine 26n microns (fiber length 85 - 90mm), whereas Finnish wool is medium 28-30 microns (fiber length 80mm). I did my best to give correct information but if I made a mistake, feel free to correct me.

Q: Can you use this to spin dog fur?

You can certainly use it to learn to spin with sheep wool, but once you know the basics of spinning you would want to move up to a lighter-weight spindle, or even to a wheel. Spinning dog fur requires considerably more skill than spinning sheep wool - that's just one reason we overwhelmingly use sheep wool! Spinning dog fur - if you want to use it for knitting, later -is best done by an experienced spinner with a wheel and blending apparatus, as you will get a much better and more useable result if the dog fur is blended with a proportion of sheep wool.

Q: how heavy is the drop spindle?

The spindle is a good weight for a beginner - around 50- 60gms - well balanced and with a good long duration of spin. TBH it's a bit heavy for me now, spinning from fine, soft, short-staple fibres, five years on, but I still use it regularly for plying and it's the spindle Intake out if anyone wants to 'have a go'.

Q: How long is this spindle please.

Hi, Thanks for enquiry. We make our spindles 12" long. Regards, Roger
