Affordable tools for fiber arts

Designing and creating beautiful pieces does not have to break the bank.  These are some of the small and inexpensive tools that I find useful In creating with fiber.  This little pendant is beautiful and functional for quickly cutting thread and embroidery floss.  You can find it here Thread Cutter







For the bulk of my crochet projects I like to use SIZE H,  I will use size P for such things as purses and placemats.  This set gives a wide range and you can find it here:  Affordable Set Of Crochet Hooks




I recommend owning a Turkish Drop Spindle as well as A Top and A Bottom Whorl Drop spindle.  This is a nice little starter kit, and a great gift for your fiber artist.  Be sure when you are spinning, to draft out your fiber first, so that your yarn is not too bulky.  You can find this kit here Turkish Drop Spiindle Kit




If you would like to begin carding wool and spinning this is a very affordable kit.  Affordable carders and drop spindle

When you are ready, these carding combs are a bit more expensive, but they are a great resource! Ashford Small Cotton Hand Carders 

These next combs are definitely not needed at first, however they are a wonderful tool for making finer worsted yarns, and are used for getting out wool Nibs which are not wanted when making worsted yarns.
