Size & Weight (Maple)
The Hebe is a specialist. While the weight (6-8 grams) is similar to size 1, the secret lies in the diameter. At just 6 cm, the Hebe is extremely center-weighted. Think of a figure skater pulling in their arms: the rotation speed skyrockets. Due to its fine structure, the maple wood feels nice and soft to the touch. It’s a light yet tough wood that perfectly matches the Hebe’s agility.
| Size | Weight | Diameter | Your Spinning Experience |
| 0 | 8 – 9 gram | 6 cm | Swift and hyper-alert. This is the masterclass tool for your finest threads. |
Why Hebe?
Named after the goddess of eternal youth.
This is your most cheerful little spindle that always fits in your bag. She is challenging: spin too thick, and the thread will immediately slow her down. But go thin, thinner, thinnest? She’ll keep going. The Hebe demands focus and is, above all, a lot of fun to use.
The Hebe is small and focused. Where larger sizes are more forgiving, the Hebe is there for the thrill and the experienced spinner. She is more stable than you’d expect, as long as you feed her what she loves: cobweb and lace-weight.
