Fantastic info !!!

[@veroniquesterckendries9143]

I will definitely try this. Thanks so much for this idea!

this is amazing!!! i really wanted to try a turkish spindle and didn't want to buy one- thought i'd have to carve wood from my back yard lol. Already had popsicle sticks and something for shaft! thanks so much :)

We're so glad it was helpful for you!

I LOVE this! Thank you for sharing. I have a nice Turkish spindle from Russia and a few nano 3D printed ones but this will allow me to work on multiple yarns at once. This is awesome and so simple!

Thank you! This is so clever

What a great idea! Thanks so much for the video, (I'm going to try this)!

Thankyou so much. I dinna wanna whine or be picki but having no sense of home, more displaced, I am exhausted from fighting over the pedantics. Those

HAH! GENIUS! And I happen to have a huge stock of unused popsicle sticks in my car's back seat space.

Great idea for trying out that style of hand spindle but there's nothing quite like having a really nice "fancy" spindle. Shop local!

[@daxafer]

Agreed! But until I can find a shop to buy a new one, this version will be fun. Then again, I’ve never spun before so I might be better off with an ‘official’ version

[@dennisnebgen9049]

won't the pieces slide off the shaft since you are using it skinny end down?
