For thousands of years, people have spun fibers into thread using simple tools, and this skill was a staple of home life — especially on the Texas frontier. Almost every cabin and home had someone who cotton and wool into thread and yarn. For most of history, the tool used to make thread was a drop spindle that has the benefit of being small and portable. Come commune with history and learn a time-honored skill that is hip once again.
