Description
Spindles, whether suspended or supported, offer spinners a wide range of options for creating yarn, each with distinct advantages based on fiber type and spinning style. Suspended spindles are ideal for mobility and mid-range yarns, offering control and visibility during spinning, while supported spindles excel at producing extremely fine or heavy yarns and accommodate a broader variety of fiber types. Ultimately, spindle performance depends on the balance between tool, fiber, and spinner—and the joy found in the process.
