Turkish spindle – simple, elegant and practical
The Turkish drop spindle is a traditional spinning tool with a very unique construction. It consists of a shaft and two crossed arms, which together form the spindle whorl.
When you spin, the yarn is wound around the crossed arms, gradually forming a small center-pull ball. When you are finished, the shaft is pulled out, and the arms can be carefully separated. This way, you can remove the yarn from the spindle without cutting it.
The Turkish spindle is therefore both simple and ingenious – and a lovely tool for anyone who wants to experience the traditional joy of hand spinning.
Hand spindle – A timeless tool with deep roots
The hand spindle is a historical spinning tool that can be traced all the way back to the Bronze Age and even further back in history. The basic principle and design have remained remarkably unchanged over time.
Originally, the spindle whorl was often made of fired clay. The whorl acted as a flywheel, providing the spindle with the necessary weight and stability so that it could rotate smoothly and maintain the twist in the yarn.
This simple but effective tool has played a central role in the development of textile production and testifies to human ability to combine functionality with craftsmanship precision.
