This heirloom quality spinning tool is an original designed and made by Jory Freyee in 2023 in the The Spindle Shop Workshop, in Queensland, Australia.
This small support spindle design has a small whorl on a Frogwood shaft. Made to be easy to carry around with you. It is fast and light with an excellent spin and thin flicking tip.
The spindle is finished to a very smooth surface, polished with a french polish and then a final gloss of carnauba wax for a long lasting shine and protection.
The support tip has a carefully shaped titanium point for long spins and is made for extremely long life life and low friction. Your spindle is checked for quality and spin before despatch and comes with tip protectors.
Please note that my spindles are balance tested and corrected when needed with extra pin weighting in the whorl rim, the pins in these are nickel silver.
The spindle operates at a very high speed and is very easy to flick, with a small diameter where it is held to be flicked allowing high rotation speeds to be achieved with ease. It is suited to short staple fibres such as silk or cotton for very fine singles.
