Size & Weight (Zebrano)
Zebrano is a sturdy type of wood, but in this size, we keep the weight low. At 12-14 grams, this is one of the lighter Athena models, perfect for spinners looking for plenty of speed.
| Size | Weight | Diameter | Your Spinning Experience |
| 2 | 12 – 14 grams | 7,5 cm | Fast and light; ideal for very thin threads. |
Why Zebrano?
The name says it all: the pattern resembles the stripes of a zebra, giving the spindle a graphic look. Despite the low weight, the Athena Zebrano keeps spinning for a surprisingly long time due to its rim-weighted design—as long as you keep your thread thin. It is the spindle for those who love spinning thin on a size 2.
The design: Model Athena
Named after the goddess of wisdom.
The design is basic and effective. In the Athena model, the weight is distributed to the outer rim. This ensures a stable rotation, even for a super-light spindle like this Zebrano. It brings a calm flow to your spinning without the tool feeling heavy.
The details
- The Shaft: Walnut with the smart taper to keep your single in place.
- The Finish: Natural hardwax-oil. This beautifully brings out the black lines in the wood.
- Sustainability: Responsibly sourced wood, handcrafted in my studio.
