Golding Lazy Kate I

The Golding Lazy Kate I is an accessory tool designed and handcrafted by Tom for the sole purpose of plying yarn spun from a drop spindle. Ball bearings in the thimbles make for smooth and easy plying.

Made of beautiful select walnut, this unique tool can be purchased as a 2 ply or 3 ply model. The Lazy Kate comes with plying rods that yarn from a drop spindle can effortlessly be slipped onto for plying. All the Lazy Kate parts (plying rods & plying eye) can be neatly stored in the walnut base for a compact tool. When not in use the Golding Lazy Kate I makes an attractive spindle stand for your drop spindles.
