Lil Oak pigtail, .8 oz top whorl drop spindle

Description

This is a lightweight oak spindle with a fun pigtail hook that nicely centers your yarn and may help keep it from popping out from under the hook. They're sturdy enough to take some rough handling--perfect to pop in your bag for on the go spinning. These are notched at 12 o'clock (behind the hook) for your convenience.

Whorl: red oak, 3 inches, notched, black cherry stain, hand-rubbed antique oil finish
Shaft: oak, black cherry stain, antique oil finish
Total Weight: .8 oz/23 gms
Total Length (including hook): 9 inches/23 cms

GENERAL: I cut my whorls from actual boards, using a drill press with a hole saw--these are NOT craft store blanks! Each is then carefully shaped and sanded to a smooth, snag-free finish. I use tiny, solid brass eye screws (opened and polished) rather than bulky cup hooks. Each spindle is signed, dated and the weight in fine print on the bottom of the whorl.

Though oak is a heavier wood than aspen, this also spins like a dream! The light weight makes it perfect for those slippery and/or short staple luxury fibers. Wonderful for spinning heavy lace and fingering weights.

An awesome choice for the beginner (much better than those clunky student spindles(much better than those clunky student spindles or toy wheel learn to spin kits) or the collector.
