- Description
- Supported spindles are versatile tools ideal for spinning short or slippery fibers and creating lofty woolen yarns, offering ergonomic benefits and a range of styles tailored to different spinning needs. The choice of spindle depends on factors like spindle style, weight distribution, tip material, and spinning surface, all of which influence spin speed, duration, and comfort. While they may not be the fastest or most beginner-friendly tools, their beauty and functionality make them beloved by experienced spinners who enjoy long draw techniques and a more meditative spinning experience.
