Turkish drop spindles are very clever, they go together in pieces, spin well, and come apart without disturbing the cop of yarn built up around the arms, but with a Turkish spindle, this bundle of spun yarn is called a turtle. I have seen pictures of some exquisitely wrapped turtles that are art forms in and of themselves. Mine looks more like a nest. I have goals.

I had trouble deciding the title for this post, so I combined all the words for maximum misdirection.
