Majacraft Turkish Drop Spindle Set

Details

Four weights, one shaft. Spin lace to sport weight with Majacraft's Turkish Drop Spindle Set. Interchangeable bamboo arms, locking cross-arms, travel-ready.

The Majacraft Turkish Drop Spindle Set gives you four swappable arm sets at 10g, 15g, 20g, and 30g on a single shared shaft, so you're never locked into one yarn weight. Most drop spindles, Turkish or otherwise, come in a single fixed weight. This set covers the full range from gossamer lace to plying-weight DK, and the arms swap in seconds thanks to Majacraft's square peg-and-hole system, which locks each arm set positively onto the shaft with no wobble. You won't find this on other Turkish spindles.

The weights at a glance

10g: Ultra-fine. For lace weight, cobweb, and luxury short-staple fibers like cashmere, qiviut, and fine merino. Best for experienced spinners chasing the thinnest possible singles.

15g: Fine to lace. More forgiving than the 10g while still firmly in fine territory. Great for silk blends, BFL, and anything headed toward a delicate shawl or lightweight accessory.

20g: Fingering to sport. The everyday workhorse of the set. Handles a wide range of wools beautifully including Corriedale, Romney, and alpaca blends, with enough mass for a steady, confident spin.

30g: Sport to DK, and ideal for plying. The most beginner-friendly weight in the set. The extra momentum gives you more time to draft, and the heavier pull makes it the natural choice when working two strands together.

Note: the weights overlap in practice. A 15g loaded with yarn spins increasingly like a 20g, so the ranges blend and give you even more flexibility than four discrete weights suggests.

Who is this for?

This set suits spinners who work across multiple fiber types and yarn weights without wanting to own four separate spindles. It's also a strong first Turkish spindle: the 30g is approachable for beginners, while the lighter arms give plenty of room to grow. Already a Turkish spindle fan? The collapsible flat design and included fabric bag make it the obvious travel kit.

Why Turkish?

Turkish spindles wind yarn directly onto the crossed arms as you spin. When you're done, pull the shaft, separate the arms, and you have a ready-to-use center-pull ball. No winder, no extra steps.
