123.04 د.إ
Command your craft with the Ashford 80mm Top Whorl Spindle. Expertly finished in a protective factory lacquer, this 80g heavyweight is engineered for maximum inertia. The oversized whorl creates an incredibly long, stable rotation, making it the premier tool for spinning bulky art yarns, thick rug yarns, or plying large quantities of singles. Smooth, durable, and balanced, it’s the ultimate spindle for those who want their tools to do the heavy lifting.
The Heavyweight Champion: Incredible Momentum
In 2026, as the “Maximalist Texture” trend dominates fiber arts, the 80mm (3⅛”) whorl has become a studio favorite. The physics are simple: more weight further from the center equals a spin that refuses to quit. This spindle acts like a massive flywheel, giving you an unparalleled amount of time to draft thick fibers or complex textures before needing to add more twist. It is the most “forgiving” spindle for those working with high-volume fibers.
The Lacquered Advantage: Effortless Plying
Because the 80g (2.75oz) weight allows you to hold a significant amount of yarn on the shaft, the lacquered finish is more important than ever. As your yarn package grows, the smooth, sealed surface of the Silver Beech ensures that the yarn doesn’t “grab” the wood when you’re ready to wind off into a skein. The lacquer also prevents the spindle from becoming “tacky” with lanolin, ensuring it maintains its professional look and feel through years of heavy-duty use.
Designed for Big Results
While smaller spindles are for delicate lace, the 80mm model is built for production. It is the ideal weight for plying two or three strands of yarn together into a balanced, robust finished product. If you are spinning for a chunky-knit blanket or a hand-woven rug, this spindle provides the gravity and torque necessary to handle thick diameters without bouncing or losing speed.
