This turkish spindle is handmade from beech. It is covered with a mix of flax seed oil and beeswax from my Dad's bee garden. This size of spindle is perfect for spinning on the go, it is small and fits into a purse. I take mine everywhere and spin when I get a chance, whether it is in a cafe with friends or on a playground when I watch my kids playing. This is a perfect variant for travelling and car-spininning :) I carefully pack my spindles and always stick a piece of fiber with each order, so, you'll have something to play with :) Weight: Approx. 1 oz (28 gr) Length: 8 inches (20 cm) Width: 4 inches (10 cm) Please, note that each tree and each piece of wood is unique with its own beautiful structure and pattern. That is why each spindle is unique with its amazing structure with swirls, growth rings and knots. Please, keep that in mind, the appearance of the wood may slightly vary from spindle to spindle.
