Turkish Drop Spindles
Handmade Turkish drop spindles—heirloom-quality spinning tools precisely designed for extra-long, smooth, and exceptionally well-balanced spinning. These precision-crafted spindles create very easy-to-remove center-pull balls directly on the spindle, eliminating the need for separate winding tools. Available in three industry-standard sizes—mini, medium, and mega—this collection offers hundreds of spindles in stock to choose from, each one completely handmade to exacting standards.
I've been making some of the world's finest and most sought-after heirloom-quality Turkish drop spindles since 2013. Each spindle is crafted with careful attention to weight distribution, balance, and beautiful soft & hardwood selection. Whether you're spinning fine lace-weight yarns on a mini, versatile everyday fibers on a medium, or thick art yarns on a mega, these spindles deliver consistent, reliable performance across all fiber types and spinning techniques. They're eco-conscious, well-balanced, and built to last for generations.
You're here for a very good reason, and it is no mistake. If you haven't already, get ready to experience what spinning with an extremely well—dare I say, perfectly—balanced Turkish drop spindle feels like. Product titles are in alphabetical order, and you can filter by weight just below this message. Proudly made in America since 2013 with eco-conscious practices and traditional woodworking techniques. Happy spinning!
