Std Scrolled Turk™ - COD w/ Dad - Black Walnut - .92 oz / 26.5g
The Scrolled Turk™, a Turkish style drop spindle with cutouts, is a Jeri Brock original design. Born of my love of fiber arts and woodworking, specifically scroll sawing, the Scrolled Turk™ is not only a great spinning spindle, the designs let you express your individuality while indulging in your art.
The standard Scrolled Turk™ is my go to spindle for spinning singles. I may be biased, but I love these spindles, and I love this size. It's small, but not too small, making it easy to pack in a purse or bag for spinning on the go. It's not too light and not too heavy, with most of the standards being in what I consider the spinning sweet spot, 0.75 - 1.0 oz (some wood and pattern pairings may be lighter or heavier). Whether you're spinning laceweight, fingering weight, or heavier, this spindle will get the job done.
There’s a story behind this spindle pattern, COD w/ Dad. There’s a group I zoom with weekly, my chosen family. During zoom time, one of my chosen sister’s husband uses that time to play Call of Duty with his 80 year old dad. Long story short, when the youngsters cheat in order to get the drop on their opponents, the language gets colorful. He’s also learned to spin these past couple years, so I chose two of the most common exclamations heard on the zoom to memorialize on a spindle and made that for his Christmas present.
Each phrase is meant to be viewed on the right hand side of the big arm, so the one on the left will appear reversed… until it does a 180.
Warning - May not be appropriate for SAW (Spinning At Work), but it’s absolutely perfect for spin-ins, meet-ups, or an evening spin after a stressful day at work.
