Small but powerful
"The spindle is even smaller than I expected which makes it highly portable. It takes a while to get used to it, but it has a great weight for cotton, creating lots of spin."

Great spindle
"I am learning to spin cotton and this spindle has made that learning process easier. It's nice to look at and is well balanced."
Fun to make laceweight yarn!
"Im accustomed to a drop spindle to it took me a bit to get the hang of the Takhli. But I spun some wool/ silk blend on it and managed a nice thin laceweight yarn. Thank you for a well made addition to my spinning tools!"

Lovely little thing
"This is going to be smaller than you think, but it is well balanced and well made. And the dog can't chew it up!"
Indian Tahkli Spindle
"Amazingly fast and even spin. Little hard to control using a bowl, so I spin it on a piece of stiff leather on my lap to wind on."
This was my first time
"This was my first time using a tahkli or spinning cotton at all, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I'm definitely happy with it. Despite my inexperience, it worked well and I was able to pick it up quickly."
