Ed Pretty’s tools are Canadian made in Langley, BC. He is a very skilled woodturner and has ventured into the world of Spinning Tools. There is more to come and we will be updating our store as he creates new products.
We have uploaded all of our stock onto the store. There is a variety of spinning tools and I’m sure you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for. If not, by all means contact us and we’ll customize our tools for your specific needs.
Right now we have in stock Drop Spindles in a variety of sizes. We also have Supported Spindles, in a variety of sizes and woods. We, of course, have lap and table top cups to go with them. There are also much needed Ring Distaves and Nostepinnes. Our Nostepinnes come in a variety of sizes to fit all your needs. There are long and short handles and long and short shafts and combinations of all options. Coming soon will be Yarn Bowls, Niddy Noddys and Dizzes.
I’m just learning to spin myself and it is becoming a bit addictive. But that’s a good thing, keeps me out of trouble. There is so much to learn!
New to Spinning
Kim McKenna is an amazing spinner and a great teacher. She has been a huge help to both of us on our spinning journey. She was able to teach me and I was off to the races in only a couple lessons. Check out her website here.
Diana Twiss is another amazing spinner and great teacher. She has been instrumental in a lot of Ed’s designs with his spinning tools. Check out her Instagram page. She has some examples of Ed’s spinning tools in her pics.
Also be a good idea to check out this website. School of SweetGeorgia. There you will find a multitude of spinning, weaving, knitting and dying information and videos. Diana and Kim are both featured there as instructors.
Looking for fibre
If you’re looking for a fibre supplier. I strongly recommend Crafty Jak’s Boutique. Katrina is very skilled at dying a huge variety of fibre and her prices are very reasonable. I just love the colours and the combinations she comes up with.
Stay Tuned
Stay tuned and check back often. There will be some new products and a variety of new woods in the next run of Ed’s spinning tools.
