Schacht has discontinued production of their Hi-Lo Spindles. I bought all they had when they announced this so I still have some. These spindles offer the best of both whorls: a brass hook at the top for top/high-whorl spinning and a grooved shaft for bottom/low-whorl spinning. Schacht Hi-Lo Spindles are made of hard maple and finished with Danish Oil.
Two sizes offer a nice spectrum of spinning capabilities:
2″ diameter 1.1 oz (31g) Approximately 10 3/4″ long end to end.
3″ diameter Out of stock
4″ diameter 3 oz (85g) Approximately 12 1/2″ long end to end.
Spindle comes with 1 ounce of top quality spinning wool from heritage longwool breeds, such as BFL, Shetland, Cheviot, Polworth, Wensleydale and Gotland top. The white/cream wool is ecru and takes dye very well.
I carry quite a few drop spindle selections in various brands and prices. Just browse through my “Spindles” section. Low shipping cost!
