This Turkish spindle is handcrafted with care.
The most distinctive feature of the Turkish spindle is its two large, crossed arms.
These arms create a stable rotation that lasts for a long time, allowing you to spin yarn comfortably.
As you spin, you will wrap the yarn around the crossed arms. Once you're finished spinning, you can disassemble the spindle and remove the yarn, which will have transformed into an adorable little "yarn ball."
Since you can pull the end of the yarn from the center of the ball, subsequent tasks like plying or making skeins can proceed smoothly.
Please refer to this video for instructions on how to use.
