Description
A heavy spindle with history. In Kauri, the Aphrodite is heavy and compact, especially in size 3. Due to the weight distribution, she has significant momentum. A strong lady.
- The vibe: Warm, heavy, and controlled.
- The Wood: Thousands of years old with a natural golden glow.
- Match: Size 2 for fine singles, size 3 for those who prefer a spindle with substance.
Size & Weight (Kauri)
Kauri is denser (heavier) than most wood species. While a light Maple size 3 weighs around 24 grams, this Kauri edition hits 32 grams. This provides immense stability. In size 2 (16-18 grams), she remains agile.
| Size | Weight | Diameter | Your Spinning Experience |
| 2 | 16 – 18 grams | 10 cm | A very pleasant, average “two” in terms of use. |
| 3 | 32 grams | 12 cm | Powerful. Lots of mass for this size; rotates very predictably. |
Why Kauri?
Kauri is rare and golden, but what makes it truly special is the texture. For the tactile ASMR lovers: this wood is extremely smooth and silky against your fingers. Zero interruptions. It’s the heavy, smooth counterpart to Olive Ash; without the stripes, but with the same mass.
The design: Model Aphrodite
Named after the goddess of love and beauty.
The design is a hybrid. The weight is placed halfway along the arms. She is less reactive than the Athena, but faster than the Artemis. In this Kauri version, that translates to a fluid rotation that feels very reliable.
The details
- The Shaft: Hickory or walnut with the smart taper to keep your single in place.
- The Finish: Natural hardwax-oil. This brings out the golden color and enhances the smooth surface.
- Sustainability: Protected and legally harvested Kauri.
