Ashford Spindles

[bottom whorl] [top whorl]

Ashford Top Whorl Spindles
Both of these spindles are well-balanced, have strong spring wire hooks bent to help keep your yarn from arcing out of the hook and have small opposing grooves in the whorl to help guide the yarn to the hook.  The spindles are lightly finished with lacquer and made of New Zealand beech (a hardwood).  The long shafts help to balance the spindle and allow for "down the thigh" propulsion for high speed spinning.

The smaller spindle weighs about 1 oz. and is perfect for finer yarns and shorter fiber lengths (cotton, camel down, short fibered silks).

The larger spindle weighs 3 oz. and is versatile for any fiber spinning.

Prices:

Small Ashford Top Whorl...$16.50
Large Ashford Top Whorl...$19.25

• When the spindle is full, slide the cross pieces off the top of the spindle, and then slide them out of the yarn for a center pull ball.

• Your yarn is ready to use as singles or easily ply from the center & outside of the ball.

• Spindle weight: 1.8 oz.
