Description
This Medieval spindle is a traditional hand spinning tool for creating yarn from wool or other fibers. Made from natural wood, it has a simple two-part construction with a shaft and a removable whorl (weight wheel), giving it an authentic historical look and feel.
This Medieval drop spindle uses a low-whorl design, where the weight sits at the bottom of the shaft during spinning. This design helps maintain steady rotation, making it easier to spin consistent yarn. The shaft includes a tapered end where the whorl fits securely, along with a notch at the top to hold the starting thread in place using a simple knot.
A spindle medieval tool like this was widely used in everyday life across medieval Europe for spinning wool into thread or yarn. It was an essential household tool, used by artisans and common people for textile production. Today, it remains popular for historical reenactment, traditional crafts, and educational demonstrations.
Lightweight and easy to use, this spindle is suitable for beginners as well as experienced spinners. It is perfect for wool spinning, yarn making, or as a display piece for medieval setups, LARP, or historical collections. The natural unfinished wood gives it a raw, authentic appearance.
