Schact Hand Spindles
Schacht is discontinuing their 3” and 4” drop spindles and replacing them with 2 new spindles: the 3” and 4” Hi-Lo Spindle. A brass hook has been added to the whorl end for high-whorl spinning; they've retained the notched shaft for bottom-whorl spinning. The 3” has a new, thinner profile that resembles the traditional 4” spindle. The 3” weighs 2.2 ounces and the 4” weighs 3 ounces.
The traditional Navajo spindle is designed for thigh spinning, has a 4 1/2" diameter whorl and a 30" long shaft.
The Pear Tahkli support spindle is designed for spinning short fibers and very fine yarn. It has a brass shaft and a hard maple pear-shaped whorl.
