Wonderful spindle. Spins like a dream. Looks stunning. Thank you.


I got this spindle specifically to spin cotton, and it performs so incredibly well. The weight of it gets such a long, fast spin going, especially when paired with a spindle bowl. And of course it's absolutely beautiful. I got the teal spindle with gold details on the whorl and it feels so luxurious to spin with. It came quickly and very safely packaged in a box with plenty of padding to protect it. I would absolutely recommend this to any other spindle lovers, and/or those looking to hand-spin cotton (or other short staple fibers) without a charkha or an e-spinner!



Spins like a dream. I love both of mine!


Absolutely gorgeous! Works wonderfully. Would buy again. Thank you so much.
