Ashford Student Hand Spindle

This is a beautifully simple first spindle: sturdy, well balanced and wonderfully direct. Give it a twist, feel the weight carry the spin, and watch soft fibre become your very first length of handspun yarn.

Made from solid Silver Beech hardwood, the Ashford Student Hand Spindle has a fixed 80mm top whorl and screw hook. At approximately 65g it has enough presence to keep turning steadily, which makes it especially reassuring for beginners learning to draft and add twist.

• Approximately 80mm whorl
• Approximately 65g
• Natural unfinished Silver Beech
• Portable, affordable and beginner friendly
