My favorite spindle! April 11, 2009 Reviewer: Leigh E from Sequim, WA United States   I own several different spindles and this is my very favorite. I have the larger size Nordic spindle and absolutely love it! It is very lightweight for its size, has perfect balance and is versatile - easily spins everything from fine to heavier yarns. It spins short fibers like Merino better than my wheels. I highly recommend this design. It's my go-to spindle for everything. Was this review helpful to you?

Nordic Lady November 24, 2007 Reviewer: Susan Slater from Spokane, WA United States   When my first Nordic spindle broke accidentally, I brought it in to mourn it. Bill said he could glue it together but it wouldn't spin the same. He was right - it spun better! Thank you for helping. (I bought a second Nordic Lady at the same time.)

Love it, love it, Love it! August 9, 2007 Reviewer: Heather B. from Houston, TX United States   Bill advised me to get this for my "first" learn to spin spindle and I'm so glad I listened.  It's survived being chewed on by a cat, dropped a few times, and traveling in my knitting bag every day.   It's a lot prettier than the photo, it's "art" by itself.   It's nice just to look at AND I was spinning yards at a time on my second attempt.   Spinning's been a lot of fun and incredibly easy for me and I credit it to my spindle.  Thanks!   PS - customer service rocks!   Edit: Still love it, works great.  I bought the mini too, and it works just as well, if not better.  I was spinning great laceweight camel in a minute or two.  These are the best!
