Traditionally Drop Spindles are made out of wood with with a notch, groove, or metal hook on the end for securing the yarn. The drop spindle provides the tension necessary to spin yarn and provides a convenient way to introduce twist into the yarn as well as a place to wind yarn as it is being spun. Spun yarn is used for a multitude of processes such as knitting, weaving, crocheting, thread-making and rope-making in order to produce final products. Aside from personal use, products such as clothing and rope are a necessary and marketable product in any society and can be sold or traded in exchange for other necessities."],"Page image":["File:Drop spindle.jpg"],"Page keywords":["3D printing","drop spindle","wool","yarn","thread","Eboxy","Plastic"],"Page language":["en"],"Page license":["CC-BY-SA-3.0"],"Page views":[336],"Page year":["Wednesday, 01-Jan-14 00:00:00 UTC"],"Project authors":["User:Amsteele"],"Project cost":[0.40000000000000002220446049250313080847263336181640625],"Project thumb":["https://www.appropedia.org/w/images/0/02/Drop_spindle.jpg"],"Project type":["Spindle wheel"],"Project was made":[true],"Project was replicated":[false],"Project year":["Wednesday, 01-Jan-14 00:00:00 UTC"],"Modification date":["Tuesday, 18-Jun-24 17:25:11 UTC"]}
