Exclusieve handgemaakte spintollen

Spintol.nl is veel meer dan alleen een website; het is een kijkje in mijn wereld van het maken van exclusieve houten spintollen. Elke spintol is namelijk een stukje van mijn reis door het leven met PTSS – handgemaakt met liefde en zorg op mijn goede dagen en een herinnering aan mijn doorzettingsvermogen op de minder goede dagen.

🇳🇱
Voor je goed kunt leren draften, is het handig om wat basiskennis te hebben. Drie dingen zijn essentieel: hoe lang de vezels zijn, hoe twist ze bij elkaar houdt en waarom de zachtheid van de wol zoveel verschil maakt.

Op de foto zie je dat mijn handen verder uit elkaar staan dan de vezellengte. Zo kunnen de vezels soepel langs elkaar schuiven en ontstaat er ruimte om ze te spinnen.

Tijdens workshops en spinproeverijen begeleid ik je hier stap voor stap bij. Boek je plek voor de komende beurzen of in mijn atelier!

🇬🇧
To really learn drafting, a little fiber knowledge makes all the difference. Three things are key: the length of the fibers, how twist holds them together, and why softness changes the way your yarn feels.

In this picture, my hands are set wider than the fiber length, just enough for the fibers to slide and flow into yarn.

I’ll guide you through this in workshops and spin-tastings. Book your spot at the next fair or come spin with me in the studio!

Spinning on a Turkish spindle is as relaxing as it

Spinning on a Turkish spindle is as relaxing as it looks. And not as hard to learn as you might think!

In this workshop I’ll guide you through the basics of spinning, fibers and spindles. Then it’s your turn: you’ll start spinning your very own yarn.

With some practice, guidance and a bit of patience, you’ll discover how relaxing and rewarding spindle spinning can be.

No experience needed, just bring your curiosity! All materials are provided.

The workshop is in a small setting (max 3) so I can provide plenty personal guidance.

Location: Zwaag (close to Hoorn) in my studio

On my way to Hannover to visit Ligna, a woodworking trade show. I’m superexcited to see what’s out there and to connect to people!

Spring is a season of growth and new beginnings. All Aphrodite bundles have already found their new homes.
Only 1 Athena and 2 Artemis bundles remain.

This Saturday I’ll welcome new spinners into my studio and
two places are still open in my beginner spindle workshop.
A 3D printed spindle is included so you can create your first yarn from the very start!

It’s been incredible to see so many of you begin your spinning journey.

Just a small note:
Spring bundles can’t be picked up during the workshop.
They are prepared and shipped from my mother’s place where all webshop orders are carefully packed.

The countdown has started! The Spring Shop Update

The countdown has started!
The Spring Shop Update goes live this Friday, May 2nd, at 8PM CET.
New fibers are blooming, new spindles are made... and a new Spring Bundle is ready to spin.

Set your reminder. I can't wait to share it with you!

Over the past year, while I was recovering from su

Over the past year, while I was recovering from surgeries to my neck, back and hip, I had time to pause and reflect.

To listen to my body.

To figure out what I want to keep building and what I need to let go of.

One of the biggest decisions: I’m saying goodbye to FoxyFibers.

Dyeing yarns on a larger scale has become too much for my body. It took a while before I was ready to share that. I needed time to come to terms with it myself. But now it feels like the right step.

The good thing is: letting go also makes space.

For new ideas. For more focus. And for Studio Spintol to grow into something that really fits me, and hopefully inspires you too.

Right now I’m working on a new website, and filming an online course all about spindle spinning.

And next week, there’ll be one last update on the current site. An update with new spindles, some (fiber) sets I’m really excited about, and a seasonal spinspiration card to spark your creativity.

Thanks for being here. It means a lot.

Curious to dive deeper into spindle spinning? In

Curious to dive deeper into spindle spinning?

In my hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to really see what’s happening in your fiber triangle — and how small changes in your hand position can shape your yarn. It’s a relaxed, practical day full of insights and spinning joy.

Also helpful for wheel spinners who feel stuck or unsure: we take a close look at drafting itself, which makes this workshop super useful no matter what tool you spin with.

Choose your date:
10 May or 18 June
Price: €75 (includes a 3D printed Athena spindle, 25g)
Prefer a wooden spindle? Trade in the 3D version for a discount.
Small group, maximum of 3 participants.

Excited to explore new possibilities at H+H this weekend!

Soaking up all the spinning goodies and discovering where this adventure leads. The show is always full of inspiration, and I can't wait to see what’s in store!

If you spot me wandering around, feel free to say hi - let’s chat about fiber, spindles, and all the other good stuff. See you there!

I’ve been back in the workshop, working with some beautiful new wood species for my spindles! Each piece has its own unique character, making every spindle a little adventure to create.

It’s always a bit of a puzzle—not just crafting the perfect shape, but also discovering how each spindle will spin. Since every type of wood has a different weight, each spindle gets its own unique feel and balance.

The photos give you a sneak peek, but there’s more to come! These beauties will be part of an upcoming shop update – I don’t have a date yet, but I’ll announce it here as soon as it’s set. Stay tuned!

Which wood speaks to you the most? And, for bonus points and cookies, can you guess the wood types?

Today Pippa and I graduated for our exam! Although Pippa already was a (general) PTSD service dog, we trained hard with @hondenschoolthierry to personalize her job to my specific needs.

All dogs are perfect just the way they are, but my Pip is the most perfect dog of all, obviously ❤️❤️.

I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself again. I am Bregje, a passionate spinner and a woman who makes spindles for women (and men of course).
Also with emphasis in that order, I’ve been spinning years longer than I’ve been making spindles.

I started making spindles when I quit work due to PTSD and was looking for a meaningful use for my days. Making super balanced, gorgeous spindles for other people is what makes me really happy.

I also use my social media to show that people are much more than the things they may not be able to do anymore. Look for what you can do and find happiness in that.
