Spinning with a spindle can actually be a bit more challenging than a wheel. But hey, people have been using spindles for 1000s of years, so you can surely do it. The etched designs on the whorl and shaft finial are unique - no two are alike. The fluted shaft provides needed traction when rolling along your thigh. Designed with the whorl moved up the shaft, this spindle is about as perfectly balanced as machining allows.
Spinners can use it as a drop spindle, high whorl, leg or support spindle.
This spindle is also manufactured using composite wood resin as used in the original Mongolds. Weighs 2.75 ounces. Well-balanced, great for the beginner. Comes finished with a sheep imprint or unfinished. Wood is either cherry or walnut.
