Description
The pocket sprinter. Cherry wood is warm, silky smooth, and surprisingly strong. In the Hebe model (size 0), you get a spindle that accelerates incredibly fast. Made for those who think ‘thin’ isn’t thin enough.
- The Vibe: Fun, warm, and lightning-fast.
- The Wood: Cherry is a favorite: silky smooth, a fine grain, and a beautiful warm color that deepens over time.
- Match: Your go-to for cotton, yak, and cashmere. Short staple lengths are a dream on this spindle.
Size & Weight (Cherry)
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. The cherry wood feels nice and soft to the touch due to its fine structure. It’s a lightweight yet tough wood that perfectly complements the Hebe’s agility.
| Size | Weight | Diameter | Your Spinning Experience |
| 0 | 6 – 8 grams | 6 cm | Agile and hyper-alert; the ultimate challenge for super-fine yarns. |
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.
