What Customers Say

Rated 5 out of 5 — 6 verified reviews

IST Crafts Turkish Spindles are lovingly hand made from selected hardwoods in Ian’s workshop on the Isle of Wight located in the English Channel. With a design that is unique to IST Crafts they offer a very attractive spindle that will just keep spinning.

Shaft Wood: English Ash

In order to provide stable yet attractive shafts, Ian uses hand selected hardwoods for the Turkish shafts. Each shaft is finely hand turned from the acorn bottom finial to the gentle taper of the main shaft. Particular attention is given to the joint to ensure each shaft fits securely to the cross members so ensuring the spindle spins true.

    • Length: 140cm
    • Width 6mm
  • Cross Member Diameter 110mm

Cross Member Wood: Zebrawood

The cross members are sourced from a supplier of specialty hardwoods for musical instruments. All are hand made in matching pairs to ensure a snug fit and coordination of wood grain and color.

The weight of the spindle depends on what type of spinning you are doing. Lighter weights for finer threads, heaver for the thicker threads and of course your personal preference.

Reviews

This is the most productive 'fidget spinner' ever. Worth every penny.

"Amazed and addicted. This is perfect for achieving fine yarn at a welcomed slower pace. It is slower than using my spinning wheel, but going slower allows me to spin a finer thread. Perfect for spinning slippery fiber like mulberry silk. The 80mm size makes the perfect size that I can fit it in my purse and spin on the go. I've been able to squeeze a 2-ply yarn weighing 40 grams (too much in the end) but it turned out to be such a beautiful consistent thread. It's spin is enhanced by bronze weights at the ends of the four arms. So happy The Woolery carries such a fine product."

Spins forever

"Beautifully balanced and with a smooth finish, this spindle is a dream to work with. With one flick, it spins for at least a minute giving this beginner a chance to actually progress from “park and draft”. Thank you!"
