Maple Spindle | Hand-turned spindle + pear wood spinning bowl | Fine wool spinning | Reininger Austrian Timber Bowl

So light it almost dances on its own—so stable it spins endlessly.
A support spindle for spinners who love elegant tools.

This hand-turned maple support spindle is an exceptionally light yet precise spinning tool—perfect for fine to ultra-fine yarns. Weighing just 22 grams and with a total length of 310 mm, it glides almost weightlessly over the spindle cup. The specially shaped body made of light maple wood ensures elegant balance and a smooth, sustained spin.
The stainless steel tip guarantees long-lasting, very smooth rotation.
This makes it ideal for even, controlled threads—whether you’re spinning wool, alpaca, angora, silk, or blended fibers.
A harmoniously matched pear wood spindle bowl is available as an option. The warm, finely grained pear wood forms a beautiful contrast to the light maple and provides a perfectly fitting guide for the stainless steel tip.
Each spindle and each bowl is hand-turned in Austria—with a keen sense of form, wood structure, and function. The result is a spinning tool that not only impresses technically but also brings aesthetic joy.
