As for me, I would advice you go for a medium weight spindle (about 100 g). You should get one that's light, so that you won't keep breaking your singles...however, don't get one so light because you'll be frustrated that it doesn't spin that long and has to keep spinning the whole time. A heavier spindle will spin longer, but unless you're trying to spin a thicker single, your singles will break easily once you start using it as a "drop" spindle.Elemmacilturhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06001661654657307595noreply@blogger.com
