- WEIGHT/DIMENSIONS: 0.8 oz. (24g.), 1.05” dia. (26.6mm), and 7.75" length (19.7cm)
This is my (John Galen's) version of a traditional/basic Tahkli Support Spindle Tahkli. The whorl is made from a 1.05” diameter solid Aluminum-Bronze Coin and is adorned with two silver or golden color/plated alloy pendants and color matched bead caps each. 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.. This is a light to medium weight Tahkli style spindle and it is the best balanced, fast, and long spinning spindle that I make. These are wonderful spindles for spinning not only cotton, but other short staple fibers as well.

Wow! It spins as beautifully as it looks. The quality is outstanding. The weight and balance are perfect. As soon as my fiber budget allows, I'm buying another Galen spindle. Shipping was blazing fast, best on the platform.

Spins so much better than my old tahkli! This is quality craftsmanship. Was recommended to me by a friend who knows her stuff!
