  • Q:
    How much yarn can hold a tiny/small/medium/large turkish spindle?
    A:
    Tiny turkish spindle can hold up to 0.75 oz (app. 20 gr) of yarn.
    Medium turkish spindle can hold up to 4 oz (app 100 gr) of yarn, though the cop will be quite huge in the end.
    Small turkish spindle holds up to 2 oz (55 gr) of yarn.
    Large spindle holds up to 7 oz (200 gr) of yarn.
  • Q:
    I'm a beginner, which spindle is better to start with?
    A:
    I would recommend starting with medium turkish spindles with a hook. These spindles are very easy to learn and the size is perfect for spinning and plying, so, you can do both with only one spindle.
