This is my version of a traditional/basic Tahkli Support Spindle Tahkli - but with a bit of added flair. The whorl is made from two silver plated metal/alloy floral filigree pendants that have been specially prepared to be used as a whorl, which is adorned (top and bottom sides) with two silver or gold plated alloy bead caps and color matched findings. The shaft is hand-made from a RAW/UN-COATED high-carbon spring steel with a heat forged hook . All parts are mounted with industrial 2-part epoxy and all edges/joints have been meticulously epoxy glued to assure your fiber will not get caught in the jewelry pieces. It is my lightest weight Tahkli style support spindle and has a very well balanced, fast, and long spin, which is perfect for spinning cotton and other fine shorter staple fibers as well.

This spindle is beautiful! Almost perfectly balanced, and it spins so quickly and for so long it’s easy to forget I left it running while I draft. It works fantastic for cotton, but I’ve also spun merino and BFL on it and it does beautifully with both. Makes a great thread that can be chain plied into a lace or fine sock weight yarn either on-the-fly or once you’ve finished the singles. I highly recommend getting this one!

Another beautiful spindle! This one is light and perfect for spinning angora I have found. Spins long and fast, easy to use.
