These are so much fun to make, and even more fun to spin yarn with! This is a 12" top-whorl spindle weighing in at 0.6 oz. It is handpainted in a rainbow of acrylic paints, lightly sealed to ward away the moisture. Because they are not sealed heavily, there is enough grip to be able to hold the yarn and handle and flick the spindle without throwing it all over the room.
These spindles are lightweight, balanced, and long enough to park for drafting if you need to, and an excellent choice for a beginning or advanced spindler.
Never used a drop spindle before? I recommend YouTube, and the wealth of information found therein! That's where I learned, and eventually decided that the world needed more affordable spindles that were still decorative. These are made from oak, pine or poplar dowels and wood rosettes. We sand and drill what needs to be sanded and drilled, and then the painting and staining fun begins!
Spin on!
