This listing is for a Pre-Order of a discounted set of 10 spindles.
Please see White Trim Drop Spindles and Black Trim Drop Spindles for colour examples and names or feel free to write "Random" if you would like me to pick for you. Otherwise note your 10 spindle colours in the above field. Here is a sample:
1x Cerulean w/ wht trim
2x Pink w/ wht trim
1x Black w/ wht trim
3x Seafoam w/ wht trim
1x Lime w/ blk trim
1x Purple w/ blk trim
1x Black w/ blk trim
Each drop spindle comes with:
1x textured mystery wool mini-batt(approx.14g/0.5oz)
2x ¼” black rubber ring for bobbins
Please note that drop spindles do not come with bobbins as they can be used without one. However, up to 40 bobbins can be bundled with this set for the discounted rate of $45 per set of 10. The bobbin colours will match the spindle trim colours.
The 10 free textured mystery colour wool mini-batt(each approx.14g or 1/2oz) is typically for people to play around with, and test out their new spindle. In the menu above, you can choose to upgrade all batts to 56g/2oz mystery batts or to completely remove it should you not want them. These batts are fantastic for beginners & teaching with if you are looking to put together class kits.

Care Instructions/Warnings
3d printed with PLA+ trim and bobbins, with PLA whorl cores. PLA is a renewable plastic made from plant starch. This material begins to warp at 60°c/140°F.
The hardwood shaft is unfinished, and you may choose to paint it or seal it with a wood finish of your choice. If the bobbins are snug, please sand down the wood prior to finishing or they may not fit afterwards.
I recommend practicing over carpet or grass as drop spindles and bobbins in general can be damaged from any drop on a hard surface – especially if they are full of yarn, as that will increase their weight.
Due to the printing process, bobbins can snap if bent or if dropped.
