This listing is for a Pre-Order of a discounted set of 16 spindles, one in each of the basic colour & trim that I offer.
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 64 bobbins can be bundled with this set at the discounted rate of $70 per set of 16. The bobbin colours will match the spindle trim colours.
The 16 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
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.
