Abstract: The structure of a hand duster having soft yarns retained on the end of a spirally wound metal wire is disclosed wherein the soft yarns are bunched together by means of a single loop at the end of the spirally wound metal wire. The yarns consist of crimped synthetic fibers in two state permanently secured at their intermediate region by the single loop of the twisted wire. The method comprises preparing a bunch of yarns and retaining same against the curved end of the bent wire shaped in a hairpin configuration, and retaining the curved end of the wire while the generally parallel extending legs are spirally wound around one another along a straight line resulting in a tightly gripping loop around the middle portion of the bundle of yarns. The yarns are then teased and trimmed thereby to produce a round fluffy head portion. The spirally wound stem is then cut to a predetermined length and then a handle component is permanently secured to the free end of the stem.
