Hardwood Turkish Drop Spindle for Traditional Hand Spinning
This hardwood Turkish drop spindle for hand spinning allows you to spin fiber while winding a ready-to-use center-pull ball as you work.
Unlike a top-whorl spindle, the Turkish style uses crossed arms that form a removable base. As you spin, the yarn is wrapped around the arms, creating a compact center-pull “turtle.” When finished, the arms slide free and the yarn lifts off cleanly — already wound and ready for plying, knitting, or crochet.
The balanced hardwood shaft provides steady rotation and consistent twist. Its bottom-whorl design offers long spin times, making it well suited for fine to medium yarns. The spindle also disassembles flat, fitting easily into a project bag for travel or quiet handwork sessions.
For those exploring spinning beyond the basics — whether in homeschool handwork, Waldorf upper grades, or adult fiber practice — the Turkish spindle offers a traditional and satisfying method of yarn making.
How a Turkish Spindle Differs
The crossed arms act as both whorl and yarn winder. This creates a tidy center-pull ball directly on the spindle, eliminating the need for rewinding before use.
