Ashford 50mm Drop Spindle
From Ashford, this is made from solid silver beech hardwood, lightly lacquered and smooth. Total length including hook, 18cm (7 inches). Whorl diameter is 50mm (1.97 inches). Weighs approximately 15 - 17g (.53 - .6 oz). You can't beat this as a good value light spindle for learning to do lace weight yarns.

The e-Spinner foot control allows you to start and stop spinning without using your hands. Simply tap to turn on your e-Spinner and tap to turn off.
NOTE: For all e-Spinners manufactured after January 2016 that include the foot switch plug option on the power panel. Older e-Spinners do not have this feature.
