The SpindleBarn™
(SpindleBarn is a trade name of Grafton Fibers)
our SpindleBarn - a true tensioned kate for spindles!

Abigail (sold)
Margrett (sold)
The Spindle Barn holds up to three spindles safely and securely. Straps over the front and rear of the Barn prevent spindles from bouncing or rolling out of place.
Coverings inside the notches protect the shafts of the spindles. Spindles can be placed as shown or, in the instance of a low whorl spindle or a high whorl with a longer shaft above the whorl the whorl can be placed inside the barn.
A tension string provides smooth control over the spindles, preventing spindles from over spinning as the yarns are plied, and keeps all yarns under even tension resulting in a much more consistent yarn.
Very small spindles can be lengthened by slipping a straw on the end of the shaft:
A thread guide in the carrying handle prevents yarns from catching on other spindles. The box serves as a storage compartment for fibers, yarns, nostepindes or other small tools.
