The guru of lace enthusiasts across the US, Galina Khmeleva, owner of Skaska Designs and author of Gossamer Webs: The History and Techniques of Orenburg Lace Shawls and Gossamer Webs: The Design Collection, recommends 10 inch Orenburg style spindles for spinning singles. She will use two to four 10” spindles to produce the yarn she needs. Then she will ply with a 13” spindle. She always uses a small shallow wooden bowl to “flick” her spindles in.

True Creations Orenburg spindle designs were tested and approved by Galina during a class I took with her a couple of years ago. Her quote to the attendees was “Buy these spindles, they are very good!”

Note: These are made to order and may take a couple days before they ship.
