Support Spindle – Pear Whorl & Oak Shaft (26.5 cm / 10.4″, 31 g / 1.09 oz) | Heavy Artisan Spindle by Kravelli

Strong, grounded, and built for momentum — this artisan support spindle features a responsive pear wood whorl paired with a durable oak wood shaft, creating a spindle designed for stability and power.

At 31 grams, this spindle is perfect for medium to heavier yarns, longwools, alpaca blends, and plying. The 26.5 cm (10.4″) length offers excellent reach and control, making it especially suitable for spinners who prefer slower, longer spins with strong rotational force.

Oak provides strength and rigidity, while pear adds smoothness and balance to the whorl — resulting in a spindle that feels confident and steady in motion. This listing is for the spindle only, allowing you to pair it with your favorite support bowl or lap bowl.

Hand-turned and finished in the Kravelli workshop in Georgia using natural oils and beeswax for a smooth, fiber-safe surface.
