Feel inspired to hand spin your own beautiful yarn with this beautifully simple drop spindle. Crafted by hand in our studio, this top whorl drop spindle features hand cut Poplar hard wood, with a lightweight, perfectly balanced feel. The wood was hand sanded to smooth perfection and carefully polished with our Silken Spindle all natural non-toxic wood balm.

This spindle is perfect for spinning all types of fibers and rovings into yarn. The simple design and durable wood material of this spindle make it a great tool for beginners and students just learning how to handspin yarn on a drop spindle.

This spindle would also make the perfect gift for the hand spinner in your life! It is perfectly sized to fit into a bag or purse to take your spinning on the go!


Please note: Spindle comes as is shown in photo. While each spindle is sanded and polished smooth, some spindles retain the natural texture and qualities of the wood. There may be knots, lines, indents, etc. in the wood, but they are all natural and what make the piece as unique as the tree it came from. Each spindle has been checked for strength and quality, to be sure they are structurally sound and of the highest quality. We do stand by our work, and if there are any questions or concerns about your new spindle, feel free to message me.

The spindle quality it’s self is excellent but I’m thoroughly disappointed with the fiber that came with the kit. It’s sold as a beginner kit and for twice the price of the spinal you get a piece of fiber that’s slightly long enough to teach someone how to make a leader to get started spinning and then have to use other fiber to actually spin yarn and practice. I could have paid half as much as the extra cost for the “kit” version on a beautiful hand died bfl from my favorite Etsy shop and my student would have had 4 ounces of fiber to make a full skein. Definitely not worth the extra $ for the kit.

I love this little spindle! It is my first one, and I definitely need practice, but it seems to work great. I like that it is simple, but the fern on top just gives it a little extra something. Thank you!
