The "Reekalf" (Dutch for fawn) Turkish spindle weighs 0.7 - 0.8 oz (19 - 23g) Handmade from Cherry with a maple shaft. the arms measure 3.5" and the shaft is 6" long the shafts have a small finial to hold the half hitch.
I bought this lightweight Turkish spindle to spin some finer yarns than I can on my current 55 gram drop spindle and for its convenience while traveling. I've already spun a sample of a 3-ply DK weight yarn and couldn't be happier. Spinning was easy and pleasant, and I got good yardage for the amount of fiber I used thanks to the light spindle weight. Looking forward to enjoying some spinning on my upcoming trip!

I am a fairly new spinner
I am a fairly new spinner, but this has quickly become my favorite spindle. Well made, beautiful wool, and well balanced.
