Leopard Skin Semi-precious Gemstone Drop Spindle

Description

Spinning is easy, fun, and relaxing. If you have never spun, are a vivid knitter,or are just curious about this ancient spinning technique, this top-whorl drop spindle kit will be your next best friend! This drop spindle is a medium-weight one, making it perfect for medium-fine to coarser fibers, which applies all wool(though they will also work for other types of fiber with practice.)

This is for a top-whorl drop spindle. The whorl is made from 'Leopard Skin' stone, featuring dark pink/red, black, and white colorings. The shaft is made of handcrafted lovely weaved jute over bamboo that is finished in dark brown color. You can adjust the height of the whorl to your preference. Long-spinning and I test every spindle before sending it off. Pointy tip (but not sharp!) that will keep it spins when it reached the floor. Convenient size to take with you anywhere.

I made a small indent to the bead whorl to keep yarn in place while spinning. (it's easy to see in the last picture as an example. That last bead not included)

Weight: 42 grams (1.4 oz)
