Description

The unique Scottish Spindle, also known as a Dealgan* in Gaelic. This version is made by Scott Snyder of Wisconsin. Used primarily for plying in the past, this spindle has experienced a resurgence of interest in recent years, and is now also used for spinning singles.

Available in Ash or Maple, with a rubbed oil finish. The Ash has a more defined grain, and is the first spindle in both pictures of the spindles side by side.

Ash spindles run just over 1 ounce, and Maple spindles run around 1.5 ounces.

Measures 8″ long, 1.5″ wide at the base.

This listing is for the purchase of one spindle.

*Dealgan, fairsaid, and farsadh are other Gaelic names for this type of whorl-less spindle.

How to use this type of spindle, and how to pronounce Dealgan, demonstrated by Lois Swales:

    The spindle known as the Portuguese Spindle is a tool that we find to be unique when it comes to spinning manually.  In a deceivingly simple shape, it packs a lot of features that are unlocked when one knows how to work with it.  Saber Fazer’s spindles are an improved version of the traditional spindles mainly used in the Minho region of Portugal
