Create yarn anywhere, anytime. Craft center‑pull “turtles” on the go with this classic Turkish drop spindle. Its removable cross arms double as a built‑in yarn winder, so you spin, wind (under one arm and over two arms), and slip the ball off—no extra tools or winding needed. Hand‑turned hardwood delivers durability, stability, and a warm feel in hand. Precisely shaped 10 3/16″ shaft keeps rotations steady for consistent twist. 5 1/8″ cross arms intersect cleanly, distributing weight for long spin times. Disassembles flat—tuck it in a project bag or carry‑on and spin anywhere. Makes a neat center‑pull ball as you spin, ready for plying or knitting.

Spin wherever inspiration strikes and slip perfectly wound yarn balls off the arms when you're done.
