    Spinners protect your clothing from fiber fall out! The contrast aspect allows a better view of the drafting zone, resulting in a more evenly spun yarn. Use the white side for dark fibers and the dark side for light fibers. Dual pockets are accessible from either side and are great holders for "fuzzies" left from flicking, wpi tool, oil bottle or orifice hook. Overall size 13X22 and made out of sturdy 7 oz cotton/poly blend twill. Washable
