Spindles come in many shapes, sizes and styles. They are all used for the same purpose; to spin yarn. Wooden ones are more suitable for beginners. Lighter weight spindles make spinning finer yarn easier. Support spindles, like Ann Grouts Turnip or Acorn with a Bowl, have terrific momentum and are perfect for those short staple length fibers like cotton.
