Kromski Drop Spindle Set Deluxe

More spindles. More options. Hand spinning, complete from the start.

The Kromski Drop Spindle Set Deluxe is the more comprehensive of the two drop spindle sets and is aimed at everyone who knows they are serious about it. It contains not only a wider range of spindle weights — and therefore wider coverage of different yarn thicknesses — but also starting fibre, so you can begin immediately without needing to buy fibres separately.

Drop spindles fascinate not only as a learning tool. Many experienced spinners who sit at a wheel every day prefer a spindle for fine laceweight wool, cashmere, or spinning on the go. The Deluxe set offers a first look at this range: from chunky to fine, from fast to contemplative.

What makes the Deluxe set stand out

• Extended spindle selection — more weight options for finer and coarser fibres than the basic set
• Starting fibre included — wool or top to practise with immediately, no extra purchase needed
• Alder quality — the same wood quality as Kromski's spinning wheels, durable and pleasant to handle
• Top-whorl design — easy to set spinning, stable twist, equally well suited to beginners and experienced spinners

Frequently asked questions about the Drop Spindle Set Deluxe

What distinguishes the Deluxe from the basic set?

The Deluxe set has more spindles with a wider weight range — covering more yarn thicknesses. Starting fibre is also included, so you do not need to buy fibres first. If you are not yet sure whether hand spinning is right for you, start with the basic set. If you want to experience it fully from the start, the Deluxe is the better choice.

How fine can I spin with these spindles?

The lightest spindle in the Deluxe set is designed for fine wool through to fingering weight. For lace or very fine cashmere yarns you need particularly light spindles (under 15 g) and some experience — the Deluxe set is a good starting point and stepping stone. Anyone who wants to spin lace specifically can later add a single spindle in a very light weight.

Is the set suitable as a gift?

Yes — that is actually one of the most common use cases. The Deluxe set comes with starting fibre, so the recipient does not need to make any additional purchases, and it makes an immediately complete impression. It is just as suitable for someone who already spins and is looking for a good drop spindle as it is for beginners.
