Create yarn anywhere, anytime. Craft center‑pull “turtles” on the go with this classic Turkish drop spindle. Its removable cross arms double as a built‑in yarn winder, so you spin, wind (under one arm and over two arms), and slip the ball off—no extra tools or winding needed.
Designed for Smooth, Balanced Spinning
- Hand‑turned hardwood delivers durability, stability, and a warm feel in hand.
- Precisely shaped 10 3/16″ shaft keeps rotations steady for consistent twist.
- 5 1/8″ cross arms intersect cleanly, distributing weight for long spin times.
- Disassembles flat—tuck it in a project bag or carry‑on and spin anywhere.
- Makes a neat center‑pull ball as you spin, ready for plying or knitting.
