Russian Spindles
As with my Drop Spindles IST Crafts Russian Spindles are lovingly hand made from selected hard woods. I have hand select all of the timber for my Russian spindles from a supplier that specialises in woods for Musical instrument. The wood is therefore of top quality and selected for its beauty and stability.
All my spindles are wrapped in acid free tissue, bubble wrap and shipped in their own individual post tube which provide a safe shipping container (see P&P on welcome page). To offer an additional benefit to my customer I offer a range of attractive colours. When shipped these are wrapped in brown parcel paper so the tubes may be kept. These then provide an attractive and safe means of travelling with your spindle to Guild and Ravelry meetings. Colours available are Gold, Silver, Red and Blue, please select your preference when ordering.
The spindles are 300m in length, however I am happy to make a shorter one on request. The weights range from 28g to 38g and is dependant on the type of wood selected. With Brazilian Kingwood and Satin Rubain being at the heaver end, Purpleheart and Pao Amarello at the lighter end with Mexican Rosewood somewhere in the middle. As with all my spindles if you require a specific weight please leave a note with your order or e-mail me and I will see what I can do.
