This is my (John Galen's) version of a traditional/basic Tahkli Support Spindle Tahkli - with a bead :-). The whorl is made from a 1.05” diameter solid Aluminum-Bronze Coin and is adorned with two silver or gold plated alloy pendants and color matched bead caps each and a lovely clear faceted-glass bead that that has a color matched (gold or silver) center.
- NO-HOOK OPTION: Choose at drop down when ordering - delivered same length
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.

A true piece of art. Traditional Tahkli don't do it for me, but John's design for the hook on this spindle makes spinning fiber so much more forgiving. I consider his Tahkli professional grade and will be buying from John again. A truly beautiful, detailed work of art. Thanks, John.

I love this spindle, it’s actually 1 of 4 that I have purchased from this shop. Delivery was amazing and I absolutely love the the way they are wrapped, very professional. I’m just learning how to spin but even as a newbie I can feel the quality, they are also extremely pretty, so excited to start using them. I’m sure I will be purchasing more.
