As expected, these spindles arrived on time and are an excellent example of woodturning. I love that the shafts are slightly longer than would be expected for the whorl size - after initial wobbling as you get the yarn started, this wobble disappears & you continue to have enough shaft to comfortably grip & flick the spindle. The sample floof the spindles came with (& were tested with) unfortunately was dirty with sand/grit and 2 dead larvae. I binned that but it was a bit of a shock.
A very unusual spindle with a very long shaft compared to whorl size. Despite a wobble when starting yarn, possibly due to the disparate shaft/whorl size, once it gets going the design works incredibly well! The extra length of the shaft means I can extend the cop all the way to end of the barley twist & still have a good portion of shaft to grip/twist. The barley twist and filial detail on the end of the shaft is pleasantly tactile whilst spinning. This spindle spins long and true, and is a true delight to use!
