Bosworth spindle made of upland bocote. It is a midi and it spins beautifully. I'm surprised my camera picked up the fiber dust on it. I decided to take a picture as soon as I took the first cop off of it.
If you happen to visit Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara and would like to take home some traditional woven fabric, stop by Sukarare village. The area is the center of production for traditional hand-woven fabric from the Sasak tribe.
Production of the woven fabric – techniques, patterns and motifs – all involve age-old traditions that have been handed down through generations. Sukarare is located in District Jonggot, Central Lombok, around 20 kilometers or 30 minutes from Mataram. The village has become a popular tourist destination in Lombok.
Besides purchasing the woven fabric directly from the craftswomen, tourists can watch the weaving process and can also attempt weaving under the guidance of Sasak women.

These Spindle Berries will turn a lovely shade of red when ripe and then they will split open to reveal the orange seeds inside. They were seen at the Coombe Hill Nature Reserve in Gloucestershire UK.
My new spindle arrived yesterday! I got it from SevenYaks. It spins like a dream, so smooth. I wanted a spindle that can spin bulky weight yarn and this spindle is 3.1 ounces. I already spun up some great thick & thin bulky yarn on it, defiantly hard to get used to after spinning thin for so long.

This pair of wooden spindles come from Jamiltepec, a Mixtec town on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca, Mexico. They are used to spin cotton. They are also used in a well-known dance costume called La Malacatera. La Malacatera is dressed in a huipil and pozahuanco skirt and has malacates stuck into her hairdo
Funny how I haven't seen this species before I took the shot of the moth last year, and now everywhere I go the Spindle bushes (Euonymus europaeus) are full of the caterpillars.

Here is a look at the yarn wound onto my 1-yd niddy noddy. Aside from the neps in the roving the yarn is remarkably even for it being my first real session of spindle spinning. I found the trick was to actually sit down rather than trying to stand and hold the roving over my head like I was told to do in October
