Spindles are important here at Hatchtown. We spend a lot of time thinking, talking and testing spindles. While there do seem to be some general truths in spindle design — we’ve learned over the years that there are as many perfect spindles as there are spinners!
12" High Whorls in the sun
The whorl of a Hatchtown 12″ High Whorl is turned from a two wood lamination. The shaft is a 3/8″ dowel which is tapered, shaped and “decorated” on the lathe. Overall weight usually runs from 1.5 oz at the lightest to 2.25 for the heaviest — good for plying and learning spinners.
If your high whorl spindle is shaking, rocking and rolling it might be due to its hook being OUT OF WHONK!
Okay! Here are the ever-popular, oft referred to Hatchtown spindle hook tweaking instructions.
