Hand-constructed kickwinder provides opportunity to learn the broom-making craft! If you are ready for a step up from the foot brake, or another device called a spindle that flays across the floor, and makes a lot of noise, then this kickwinder is just for you!
Review from Brenda in South Carolina:
Thank you so much for the kickwinder. It works great. Really like that I can put several colors of cord on it. I love my purchase!
Review from Tanaya in Colorado:
Just wanted to say thanks, the kickwinder is gorgeous, such a great weight and will serve me for years to come. I'm so excited to try it out. The one I made years ago just doesn't have the same heft as this one.
Review from Lance
I ordered a kickwinder and bodkin (needle). The kickwinder works fantastic. Because it uses an axle spindle, its operation is smooth, quiet, simple, and easy to control both thread tension and release.
Functionality: The spindle rotates smoothly on a center metal core, which allows for better tension control and peaceful broom making. A must-have if you are traveling, taking your work to a different area in your work area or home where a spindle smacking on the floor isn’t desired.
As you shop around, make sure to compare product functionality and construction, including the type of wood used in the construction. Read more details under the PRODUCT INFORMATION section.

What goes into making a kickwinder?
- Time to create the design ( paid a finish carpenter to assist in bringing my vision to fruition)
- Time to drive and pick up materials
- Cost of the materials
- Equipment and tools (table saw, miter saw, drill press, router, drills, etc) maintenance and replacement
- Time to cut out and router every piece of wood
- Time to put the device together
- Time to package up and ensure the kickwinder arrives safely
There is a broom spindle offered by another shop online that charges near the same amount as our kickwinder, and it is a very nice spindle and will also do the job, but the functionality of the spindle is not the same as our kickwinder. Our kickwinder provides space for 3 tying materials. The spindle weighs 5 pounds; our kickwinder weighs 14 pounds - 3 times as much material.
I hope this was helpful! Please reach out if you have any questions, as we are happy to assist!
