Using a turkish drop spindle to spin wool or any other fibre
The turkish style drop spindle is fun to use - when you've finished spinning or plying, it slips apart leaving your yarn in a neat ball.
14" (350mm) long. Nice and light but spins well - it weighs in at 1.5 oz (50gm), which is lighter than the Classic or the Student spindles, but not quite as light as the Small Top Whorl spindle.
You can buy a turkish drop spindle from us.
