Bosworth Spindles
Hand spindles, niddy noddies, and fiber pockets by Journey Wheel, each is handcrafted by Jonathan Bosworth. We are very proud to be one of Bosworth spindle's newest distributors. I will admit to owning more than one (ok, more than one of each size) of these beautiful spindles. They spin superbly! They are available in four sizes, and don't forget to check the bottom of the page for those gorgeous Cherry Niddy Noddies! As always, email us if you have questions or would like more information!

Featherweight spindles offer the ability to spin luxury fibers such as silks, silk blends,
cotton, yak, and other fine fibers. They have a 2" diameter whorl on a 7 1/2 inch shaft. They
weigh 0.35 to 0.53 oz, depending on the wood.
Mini Size spindles are a bit heavier than the featherweights, allowing for you to spin a wide variety of fibers. These spindles
have a 2" diameter whorl on a 7 1/2 inch shaft, and weigh from 0.6 to 1.0 ounces, depending on the wood
Midi Size spindles are our most popular size. These are perfect for most wool blends and wools, as well as many of the finer
fibers. These have a 2 1/2 inch diameter whorl on a 9" shaft, and weigh from 0.8 to 1.4 ounces depending on the wood.
Maxi Size Spindles are perfect for beginning spindlers, for making thicker yarns, and especially for plying. These spindles have
a 3" whorl and a 10 1/2 inch shaft and weigh from 1.5 to 2.0 ounces, depending on the wood.
Beautifully handcrafted Solid Cherry Niddy Noddies are based upon a circa 1800's antique. Each size has solid brass rings
at the center of each arm, and the graceful arms hold your choice of 1 or 2 yards of yarn. These beautiful tools would make a
perfect holiday present for yourself, or a loved knitter or spinner.
