Micro Spindles
These 3D printed spindles made by Jen Kemery of Turtlemade have even more advantages than most.
They are extremely well balanced, and have a lovely long spin, making them ideal for beginners. They won't break when dropped, which is great even for experienced spinners - we all drop them sometimes! You can also use them as supported spindles as well as drop spindles.
These spindles weigh appxoximately 10-13g.
Measurements
These micro spindles are really dinky, and will fit in almost any bag or pocket. They are feather light and have a fast spin, making them ideal for fine yarns, including cobweb.
The measurements are: 3" shaft, 4" arms
Materials
The spindle arms are made from PLA, which is a durable, biodegradable thermoplastic. Don't worry! It only starts to biodegrade when exposed to extreme heat. Jen recommends that you don't leave it in the car on a hot day. The shafts are made from moulded ABS plastic, which is known for its impact resistant properties. Handy for a drop spindle!
