Some more spindles for the collection ...

I always love getting parcels in the mail, but even more exciting is when these parcels contain more spindles!
These spindles are (LtoR):
  • Padauk with Purple Heart shaft, 30.2gms
  • Tigerwood with Bubinga shaft, 23.3gms
  • Cocobolo with East Indian Rosewood shaft, 28.5gms
  • Spalted Tamarind with Osage Orange shaft, 27.5gms
  • Padauk with Purple Heart shaft, 25.8gms


The 5 new drop spindles add to my FWA Spindle family. I am still trying to get the hang of the support spindles with a bit of park and draft with the occasional continued spin. I think I still prefer the drop spindles but the support spindles are handy in a confined space, like the tiny Turkish spindles in my collection.

Happy Spinning! :)
