Charkhas
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!
