*********************************************************************************
Ed's innovative Kuchulu Spindles: taking Turkish spindles to a new level of craftsmanship and skill. Until he created his Kuchulus in October 2009 there has never been a Turkish spindle this tiny! Crossarms average 2.5"L, Shafts average 3.25".
Kuchulu is a Persian endearment for "cute and tiny". 270 yards from 12 grams (0.4 ounce) of a merino/tencel blend was easily spun on a Kuchulu.                                                                                                                                                             Click to see how big a Kuchulu is against a US dollar bill.

Update: July 29 Sorry, all sold out. Ed will be making more - check back or put your order in for one to be made from wood that you'd like. No guarantee that it will look similar to what's pictured, wood varies so much.
After three days with our small grandchildren visiting us I'm packing finished back-orders, trying to get a handle on what's in stock and will be working through emails and sending PayPal invoices. It's going to take time so please be patient, though realistically it may be tomorrow (Friday) before all emails are answered.
(Pictures of the actual spindles but coloring may vary due to differences of monitors.)
