Sherry F. (5/5)

I love the spindle, love

"I love the spindle, love the look of it and have enjoyed spinning on it. And I love that it is so portable. Such a nice piece to have along with my traditional wheel and my just ordered e-spinner so my spinning life is complete!"

Linda S. (5/5)

"I am over the moon with my newest spindle purchase. The Woolery processed and shipped the order quickly. Will always come back to shop here."

Colorful spindle

"The weight is perfect and the whirl is beautiful (a combination of all my favorite colors) it makes it a joy to spin on!"

Pamela S. (5/5)

Love it!

"I’m a beginner, and this spindle is smaller than what I’m used to, but the weight of the stone and feel of the wood are lovely. I did put a little notch in the edge of the stone (with a metal fingernail file) so the yarn wouldn’t slip as much. The balance is even, and the stone is beautiful."

"The stone is lovely and it spins beautifully. It also is holding up well to a new spinner dropping it often."

"I love this spindle. It has a nice weight to it. The only missing is a slot for a yarn guide."

Melissa B. (5/5)

Great spindle

"Beautiful spindle. I just wish the whorl had a notch though, the spun thread does slip around a bit. But it still spins wonderfully. Thank you. A++++"

"Balanced, light, and beautiful"

Gary K. (5/5)

Beautiful but not the easiest to use

"It’s a gorgeous piece of art! And it can spin beautifully but it’s a bit tricky due to slippery shaft and whorl both. Not having a notch adds to the challenge. This spindle is only one in my collection that the cop has a tendency to slide on. Don’t recommend for a raw beginner but it does make a lovely addition for someone who has a bit of experience."
