About me

Shiela Dixon

I'm Shiela Dixon, an enthusiastic knitter, spinner and walker. Handspinner HQ is on the border between Leicestershire and beautiful South Derbyshire, close to Leicester, Derby, Nottingham Birmingham and Coventry

This website contains a growing range of spinning items; spinning wheels, carders, plying tools, books. Prices are below recommended retail price and most items are in stock and ready to go by first class post (unless I've sold out, and I state this by the item). I sometimes dispatch on the same day and almost always within 24 hours.
