The Akha style spindle is a new spindle for
Grizzly Mountain Arts. This type of spindle originated with the Akha people, an indigenous hill tribe that live in small villages at high altitudes in the mountains of Thailand, Burma, Laos, China, and Yunnan Province in China.
Dave has crafted the whorls of his Akha spindles from beautiful Spectra-Ply to reflect the bright, colorful textiles created by the Akha people. He has used birch for the shafts, and brass was used to make the hooks. Please click on each photo to go to our Etsy
shop for more views of each spindle.
