Notched Oak Ladybug, 1.1 oz top whorl drop spindle

Description

I often recommend my 1 ounce oak spindles as a good starter (that you'll continue to use as you grow) for beginners. This is the same spindle as my regular notched oaks...with a buggy bonus!

WHORL: red oak, 3.5 inches, ladybug in red black and white
SHAFT: red oak with red and black spotted accent
TOTAL WEIGHT: 1 oz/28 gms
TOTAL LENGTH (including hook): 11 inches/28 cms

GENERAL DETAILS: I cut my whorls from actual boards, using a drill press with a hole saw--these are NOT craft store blanks! Each is then carefully shaped and sanded to a smooth, snag-free finish. I use tiny, solid brass eye screws (opened and polished) rather than bulky cup hooks. Once complete, each spindle is sealed with several coats of premium satin polyurethane, hand-rubbed with fine steel wool between coats. Each spindle is signed, dated and the weight in fine print on the bottom of the whorl.

Though oak is a heavier wood than aspen, this gem spins like a dream! The light weight makes it perfect for those slippery and/or short staple luxury fibers (just tested with a merino/silk blend). Wonderful for spinning lace and fingering weights.

An awesome choice for the beginner (much better than those clunky student spindles or toy wheel learn to spin kits) or the collector.
