Rated 5 out of 5 — 11 verified reviews
If you are a beginner, a spinning teacher, or just simply dying to have a Greensleeves spindle, economical Bare Bones is for you. This high whorl spindle features a plain shaft but also a beautiful whorl made of premium walnut or maple.
It spins long and leisurely and can take rough-and-tumble beginners (although you should, as with any spindle, be careful not to drop directly on the hook or go on long outdoor trips).
Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 11 reviews.

"Exactly as described. Simple and lovely, not too heavy for beginners."
"This is a great simple spindle with a smooth spin and nice weight for thinner yarns."
"The easiest spindle to spin on."
"This spindle is nicely balanced a perfect for a beginner! Not only does it work perfectly, it’s beautifully crafted. Spindles are works of art and this one fits perfectly into my collection."
"Great drop spindle"
"Works well. Great purchase. I will purchase from them again."
"Although I'd borrowed two other spindles, this was the first one I bought for myself. I was initially surprised by its weight and found the large diameter shaft was difficult to ""flick"" hard enough to get a stable spin. With a few weeks' practice, I got used to the spindle and found I really liked it. It's very stable and versatile, and I'm sure I'll use it often."
"I love this! It’s beautiful and not too heavy for spinning finer wool. Very happy with purchase!"
"Lovely affordable spindle."
