Supported or Hand  Spindles

These spindles can be used either supported on a table or in a bowl, or just held in the hand. Available  in 10, 12, or 14 inch lengths. Great for spinning flax, silk, and camel. We also can make matching bowls.

(Other styles of supported spindles can be found on the Tibetans page. Also, some people use Turkish spindles in a supported manner.)
