Absolutely love it! Great size to have in your pocket or bag. Ordered another one to give to a friend in the same week!
I love this itty bitty spindle!!! It’s my current favourite for spinning cobweb yarns. Because it’s so small I can spin in any seat with ease. A slightly longer shaft would make this the perfect spindle for very fine yarns
So tiny! But it definitely spins well :-)
These very tiny turkish spindles are really fun to use & spin very very fast. I pop mine in my bag and have it it with me always. Very pleased with my purchase...
It's perfect for making lace weight yarn and packs a surprising amount of fibre on.
Fabulous tiny spindle just right for popping in your handbag for moments when your unexpectedly waiting around. It works perfectly and will hold several metres of yarn. Love the colour choices
