Choosing a Supported Spindle
41 minutes | Revised and updated October 2025
In this course, you’ll explore how your physiology, spinning habits, yarn goals, spindle dimensions and tip styles can all influence which supported spindles work best for you. You’ll also learn about the important relationship between a supported spindle and its bowl—and why a spindle that works beautifully for one spinner may not be the best fit for another.

This mini course is part of The Gentle Art of Supported Spinning, my ongoing series exploring the tools and techniques of supported spinning. I’m always learning, experimenting, and adding to my own spindle collection, so the course and its resources may continue to evolve as I learn more.
Happy spinning!
