Charkhas

Attache size charkha wheel from Bosworth Spindles
Book size spinning charkha with piece of wool

Bosworth Charkhas are available exclusively from us.

"As far as charkhas go, the Bosworth Charkha wins hands down!"

Llyn Payne on charkha@Yahoogroups.com

Our unique spindle mount allows you to set the angle to what works best for you: the traditional downward pointing spindle can easily be converted to a more contemporary horizontal spindle in just a few minutes. The magnetic spindle mount holds your spindle firmly in place during use, and the spindle can be easily removed with a simple push of your finger.

Each Charkha comes with 3 spindles. Extra Standard or Plying Spindles are available at $18 each. All of our Charkha spindle tips are rounded for your safety.

There is no disassembly required to close the case — just release the spindle mount, remove and store your spindles, align the turning knob on the wheel, close the case and go!
