Trindles

I was recently directed to look at a trindle by a fiber enabler.  It is an ingenious design as you can interchange the "arms" to change the weight of the spindle.


I'm such a sucker for cool toys so since I had a balance in my paypal account, I went ahead and order a microfiber shaft and two sets of arms.  It took a little while for them to arrive at my mailbox, but this is what I got.

I got medium weight arms for spinning and heavy weight arms for plying.


Here are the arms attached to the shaft.
