Thread Spinner
Explore & process natural sheep wool
With the thread spinner, children get to know sheep wool, discover its special properties and process it into soft threads.
Set includes:
Untreated sheep wool for experimenting Washed & degreased sheep wool for further processing Potassium alum for dyeing 4 hand carders for carding 32 sticks with notches for the weaving frame HandyMik for exploring the fibers KRAFT educational folder with instructions
How it works
With the thread spinner, children & adults can literally examine this exciting natural material up close 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 inquiry 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 get? 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 by two people. 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 form a weaving frame & create unique treasures with the wool cord you made yourself. That is a very special feeling!
Experience craftwork & self-efficacy
Working with the children on crafts promotes self-efficacy and makes feelings of success tangible through visible results. In an increasingly digitalized world, where varied physical experiences are becoming rarer, it is important to preserve experiences and the skills of human culture in the children’s memory.
Discover the world of sheep
Handling sheep wool encourages interesting conversations about sheep. Why is untreated wool so greasy? What do sheep need their wool for at all? And many other thoughts that arise naturally when working with the natural material.
Easy implementation in practice
The thread spinner set includes all materials needed to carry out the project, allowing direct implementation without long preparation time.
Quick-to-understand instructions with documentation sheets
The educational folder provides a quick insight into the topic and direct implementation. The reproducible documentation sheets are a supportive way to observe the children’s learning progress and accompany them in their development.
