Thread Spinner Basic Kit

From sheep to cord.

Thread Spinner

Explore & process the natural material sheep's wool

With the thread spinner, children get to know sheep's wool, discover its special properties and process it into soft threads.

Included in the set:

Natural sheep's wool for experimenting Washed & degreased sheep's wool for further processing Potassium alum for dyeing 4 hand carders for carding 32 sticks with notches for the loom HandyMik for exploring the fibers KRAFT educational folder with instructions

How it works

With the thread spinner, children & adults can literally take a close look at this exciting natural material and create special treasures step by step.

A look through the HandyMik

The focused view through the microscope for the smartphone camera awakens the spirit of discovery in young and old.

Felting

With hot water & soap, the wool can be processed into cords, balls, coasters & other treasures.

Dyeing wool

What color should the treasures be? Dyeing with natural materials like onions or dandelions is especially fun.

The homemade cord

Carding the wool is a relaxing technique that can also be done together. Afterwards, the children can wind the wool into a cord. In the video further down we show you how easy it is.

Weaving treasures

With the wooden sticks you can create a loom & use the self-made wool cord to create unique treasures. It’s a very special feeling!

Experience craftsmanship & self-efficacy

Working with the children on craft projects promotes self-efficacy and makes successes tangible through visible results. In an increasingly digitized world, where diverse physical experiences are becoming rarer, it is important to preserve experiences and the skills of human culture in children's memories.

Discover the world of sheep

Handling sheep's wool encourages interesting conversations about sheep. Why is unprocessed wool so greasy? What do sheep need their wool for at all? And many other thoughts that naturally arise from working with this natural material.

Easy to implement in practice

The thread spinner set includes all materials needed to carry out the project and thus enables direct implementation without long preparation time.

Quickly understandable instructions with documentation sheets

The educational folder provides a quick insight into the topic and direct implementation. The reproducible templates of the documentation sheets are a supportive way to observe the children's learning progress and accompany them in their development.
