 ANNE GROUT A PhD in Irish History, in her own right she has developed a fine line of drop spindles that come in a large variety of weights so that a specific yarn can be made by the spindliest with ease.
Many of her designs reflect her knowledge of the Celtic arts and she has developed over 50 different glazes for the endless variety we all like. there are several always on display so you can try before you buy and find the one that suits your needs. We are on of the few shops in the country to have her fine spindles available to the public.

Several types of hand card, drum carders, wool combs, English combs, distaffs, jumbo and lace flyer kits, double treadle adaptions for the Ashford Wheels, wooden drop spindles to add to the Anne Grout collection, soaps, oils, woolwash, niddy noddies, oil bobbins, whorls, shuttle-stick and boat bobbins, patterns hand selected for the hand spun yarn, knitting needles, both bamboo and caasein, and bobbins for the tapestry looms.

Kromski
Sonata Jumbo Flyer Set - It's
finally here! Any of you with the Sonata may be waiting for
this accessory and not even know it!
Teach Yourself Visually Handspinning is finally back in
stock again. This book is written by well known spinner and
author Judith Mackenzie Mccuin. I can't seem to keep this one
on the shelf and I have to agree with all of the other spinners who've
reviewed it. I think it's the best new spinning book out
there. It will be useful to new spinners as well as those who
have been refining their skills for years. It is nicely
photographed and the descriptions are easy to understand.
Strauch
Carders - Petite and Finest - are finally back
in. Really, come in and take these lovelies for a test
drive. I have both with fine cloth but they can be had with a
medium or course cloth also.
I've got a full stock of Hand Cards in fine,
medium and cotton from Strauch, Ashford and Schacht. I carry
them all becuse it really is a personal decision based on feel, look
and budget.
Flicks
from Ashford and Strauch are in. Again, this is a very
personal decision. You've got to touch them to know for sure
what you like.
The Kromski
Minstrel is here after a short absence. This
beauty is in the walnut finish. It can be used as either
double drive or scotch tension and it's just a smooth spinner that's
very portable as well as beautiful.
Finally! The Kromski Sonata Jumbo Flyer Kit
is in. I've been waiting for what seems like forever - well
since last December - for this addition to the Sonata that will make
that wheel even better than it is already.
Cat
Bordhi - New Pathways for Sock Knitters. Cat's
at it again with this really fabulous book. It's bursting at
the binding with new and interesting sock patterns. I was
quite impressed and will be ordering a few more with one going on my
personal book shelf.
