Turkish Spindles

With their clever cross-arms that are removable at the end of your spin, a Turkish spindle leaves you with a tidy centre-pull ball. This style of spindle is a lot of fun, though many spindlers seem shy to give these a try.

Majacraft Turkish Spindle Set
Canadian shipping only.
Recently redesigned, Majacraft's new Turkish spindle set features four different sets of cross arms so you can select the best weight for the type of yarn you wish to spin. Made from Bamboo plywood with a single shaft measuring 30.5 cm (12 inches) with a small knob at the top end rather than a hook. The four sets of cross arms give an approximate total weight of 10, 15, 20 or 30g (.3, .5, .7 or 1 oz)
We love the flexibility this set offers the spinner, letting you make any thickness of yarn you desire. Comes with a cute little fabric bag with a drawstring. Everybody will think you have a plastic recorder in your handbag -- remember those? Instead of playing "Hot Cross Buns" you can impress them with your spinning instead.
