The spinning top consists of a disc that functions as a weight, and a stick, around which the spun yarn can be wound. Scheepjes spindles are made with different types of wood. This smoothly polished spindle weighs 70.9 grams and is suitable for spinning DK-, worsted- and bulky-weight yarns.

Each spindle is handmade and therefore unique, which means that every piece may look slightly different.
