Standard Drop Spindles
True Creations Standard Drop Spindles have evolved through a
design/evaluate/modify process with spinning experts that took over 1.5 years.
Our designs feature the natural beauty of the exotic woods we use for our whorls.

The shafts are turned on the lathe twice to shape the tips, to sand and to have a
light finish applied. The light finish helps to keep the shaft clean but at the same
time allows enough "bite: to help hold your fiber. Shafts are typically 3/8" in
diameter, however, many customers lately have requested our 1/4" diameter
shafts as they feel it allows them to obtain a higher RPM to maximize spin time.

The whorls are turned four times to ensure balance and allows the beauty of the
wood to be maximized.

Each whorl typically has four hand cut notches to prevent fiber slippage.  Four
notches allows you maximum flexibility to bring your fiber to the hook, no matter
if you like to put a S or a Z twist into your fiber.

True Creations standard spindles weigh between 1 and 1.5 oz, have a whorl
diameter of 2.5-3.5 inches and a shaft length between 9 and 12 inches. Shafts are
available in either 1/4" or 3/8" diameters.

True Creations Drop Spindles July 28, 2008
Reviewer: Bill Romine from Spokane, WA United States  
I am the person at Paradise Fibers that deals with the technical aspects of our products.  I always check the balance and trueness of our drop spindles before we ship them.  It has been my experience that the True Creations Drop Spindles are the best in terms of trueness and balance.
