Size & Weight (Zebrano)
Zebrano is very predictable in terms of weight. Size 2 is the all-rounder with a great spin, while Size 3 is a powerhouse for heavier work or larger projects.
| Size | Weight | Diameter | Your Spinning Experience |
| 1 | 8-9 | 7,5 cm | Light as air. For the finest threads. |
| 3 | 27 – 31 g | 12 cm | Steady momentum for medium to bulky yarns. |
| 4 | 41 g | 13,5 cm | Master the plying. Designed for big projects and thick yarns. |
Why Zebrano?
Not local, but the grain makes up for it. It creates a striking effect while spinning. Real talk: this wood has a strong, unpleasant smell while being worked, but once it’s finished, that’s completely gone. You’re left with an odorless, rock-solid spindle.
The design: Model Aphrodite
Named after the goddess of love.
The Aphrodite lines and the natural Zebrano stripes are a total match. Because of the average weight, you can use this spindle for basically anything.
