- In this Spindle Spotlight, I'm featuring a simple, easy to find, good starter style drop spindle. This is also a style that could easily be made using a dowel, toy wheel, finial, and hook. See below for a couple shops that carry similar spindles for sale, or search "drop spindle" on Etsy; there are many, many shops that sell this style of spindle. The shaft on this spindle has a nice point that allows for some support while spinning. I really feel that being able to support a spindle can be a big help when learning how to spin.
