Support Spindle with Metal Tip – Beech Shaft & Pear Whorl (26 cm / 10.2″, 24 g / 0.85 oz) + Hand-Painted Ceramic Spinning Bowl | Artisan Handmade by Kravelli

Warm, balanced, and beautifully crafted — this artisan support spindle set features a smooth beech wood shaft, a bright pear wood whorl, and a polished metal tip for exceptionally low-friction spinning. The set includes a handmade and hand-painted ceramic support bowl, making it both a functional tool and a small piece of art.

At 24 grams, this spindle sits in an excellent middle range for fine to medium yarns, giving spinners a satisfying mix of speed, momentum, and control. Its 26 cm (10.2″) length offers comfortable reach and a graceful spinning motion that feels natural in hand.

The metal tip ensures smooth, efficient rotation, while the painted ceramic bowl provides a stable base with a touch of personality — each bowl carrying its own unique, artistic pattern.

Hand-turned and finished in the Kravelli workshop in Georgia, the spindle features our signature natural oil and beeswax finish for a silky, fiber-friendly glide.
