Top Whorl Drop Spindles
Handmade top whorl drop spindles—classic spinning tools designed for smooth, consistent spinning with the whorl positioned at the top of the shaft. These precision-crafted spindles offer a different spinning experience compared to bottom whorl designs, with characteristics that many spinners prefer for specific fiber types and spinning techniques.
Each top whorl spindle is handcrafted from beautiful hardwoods with careful attention to weight distribution and balance. The top whorl configuration creates a unique spinning dynamic that works beautifully for a wide range of fibers and yarn weights. Whether you're spinning fine merino, silk, or everyday fibers, these spindles deliver reliable performance with smooth, even rotation and excellent spin time.
Perfect for spinners of all skill levels—from beginners exploring different spindle styles to experienced fiber artists who appreciate the classic top whorl design. These spindles are eco-conscious, durable, and built to last for years of spinning enjoyment. Proudly made in America since 2013 with traditional woodworking techniques and attention to detail.
