Sizes & Weights (Maple)
The weight of the Athena isn’t concentrated in a single spot. This increases the spin time and ensures an even rotation.
| Size | Weight | Diameter | Your Spinning Experience |
| 1 | 8 grams | 7,5 cm | Nice and light. For spinning fine yarns. |
| 4 | 32 gram | 13,5 cm | Lightweight giant. Large surface area, but weighs very little for its size. |
Why Maple?
Maple is a no-nonsense wood. The surface is smooth and feels cool in your hand. Due to the light color and subtle grain, the focus stays on your yarn.
The design: Model Athena
Named after the goddess of wisdom.
The design is sleek, basic, and effective. In the Athena, weight is distributed towards the ends of the arms to extend the spin time. She follows your tempo: precision in size 1, and a relaxed flow in size 4.
