Named spindles are spindles that have something a little extra special about them, something that makes me need to give them a name. They are made from some of the most prized and precious timbers in my collection.

Reverse Cone Support Spindle. This heirloom quality spindle is a handmade item, designed by Jory Freyee and Malcolm Fielding, and made by Jory Freyee in the workshop of TheSpindleshop. This item is in stock and you will receive the item as shown these photos. This heirloom quality spinning tool is an original designed and made by apprentice spindle maker Jory Freyee under the tuition of master craftsman Malcolm Fielding. Your spindle will resemble these images very closely and is in stock. The shaft is made in Frogwood. This is the perfect material for support spindle shafts as it is strong, durable and will not warp. The shaft has a delicate curve in to the top point, which is shaped with a slender section where it is flicked then to a well shaped smoothed top point, to allow the yarn to slip the point easily. The bottom point is made from very hard titanium alloy and designed for an effortless long spin and a lifetime of use. A support bowl is needed for using this type of spindle. One of our turned dymondwood-centred spinning surfaces is ideal and these are usually in stock. You can also use glass or ceramic support bowls. Light wood support bowls are not recommended for use with any metal-tip spindle. The spindle is polished with a high shine French polish and a final gloss of carnauba wax adds durability. This spindle style has a long very fast spin and perfect balance.
