With its carefully designed dimensions, this spindle stick can hold ample spun yarn. The tapered bottom end, featuring a 3-inch taper leading up to a 1/2-inch (13mm) wide "belly," accommodates most whorls available on the market. It seamlessly pairs (more often than not) with extant medieval metal whorls and modern whorls with similar hole sizes.

Crafted to strike the perfect balance, the bottom tip of the spindle stick is sturdy enough to withstand accidental drops.

The tapered bottom of the stick perfectly matches the holes in my whorls (available separately), ensuring a secure fit during use. While straight-hole whorls can also be utilized, the use of tapered-hole whorls is recommended for a more secure fit. In the case of straight-hole whorls, a small elastic band or alternative device may be employed to hold them in place.

Whether you're an experienced spinner or just starting your spinning journey, these spindle sticks are an excellent choice. Their craftsmanship and design make them equally suitable for both experts and beginners.

Please note that this listing is for the hand-turned medieval-style spindle stick only. Whorls are sold separately.
