Handmade for us by Anoush of Ambush Bog, these spindles are gorgeous and a delight to spin. Weighing in at 6g or 0.2oz, they're an ultralight, lace spinning dream. The shafts are not turned on a lathe but hand carved to perfection.
Your choice of Brazilian Cherry (dark whorl, blond shaft) or Bloodwood (gold whorl, red shaft) .
These drop spindles are made for us from a teen aged boy outside of Edmonton. Contrary to what you might think when you read "teen aged", these are made with precision and care, are well balanced and spin superbly. I keep one in my desk drawer as they are great new spinner spindles - heavy enough to give twist to a thicker hank of fibre and indestructible. And they're made by a motivated, young entrepreneur, how cool is that?
I don't yet have the weight from the designer but I can tell you that they spin well and are great for bulkier yarns. A spinner with some good basic skills will have no problem spinning a variety of yarns (especially from long stapled fibres).
As always, the drop spindle comes with 2oz of Canadian fibre of your choice.
