German archaeologist Katrin Kania sells reproduction spindles. I ordered one from her and was happy to see my whorl fit perfectly. This will be my new in-the-hand spindle for flax.

My whorl with a hook-less tapered spindle shaft inserted. This will be good for in-the-hand spinning of flax.
I did my Icelandic spinning project using a different spindle shaft. That one is a reproduction Anglo-Saxon spindle shaft by Mistress Rhiannon of Æthelmearc.
