Hooray! The spindle concept works (and looks very sweet) - available tomorrow 4.16.12 at www.chrisyates.net/store/puzz.html
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
A brief explanation of some of the physics behind spindle spinning, including why bottom whorl spindles are more stable.

My son broke my spindle after finishing just one project with it (well actually, just the singles). I usually keep it better protected but I left it sitting on a shelf for a couple hours. The next thing I know he was carrying it to me saying "Mommy? did I broke it a little? "
I will of course be sending it back to the maker and paying for a repair if he does them, because it was a lovely spindle in all respects.
I went to Lowes and found all the pieces (except for the skate bearing) to build my own Kick Spindle. Its a kind of supported Spindle for spinning wool. I'm so happy with it. What do you think??
Greenish twigs and tiny opposite buds. The older twigs can be very obviously ridged, though this character does not work as well as some literature suggests.
Got texture?

Pictures don't do this spindle justice! It is absolutely luminescent in person and sort of smells like the sea.

Euonymus europaeus.
Windrush.
A native shrubby tree that is a good indicator of ancient hedgerows and woodland. Not common though in recent years increasingly included when planting new hedgerow, it is found in all the Windrush hedges and along both rivers.
Spindle wood is exceptionally hard allowing it to retain a point and so was once used for spindles and even toothpicks. (Though it is likely the name derives from the Dutch "spilboome".) Spindle charcoal is also prized by artists.
Nectar rich small green flowers in late Spring and berries providing a winter food source for birds both make Spindle a welcome sight, it also provides food for the spindle ermine moth. Less welcome for gardeners it provides a winter nesting site for black bean aphids, but this in turn attracts large numbers of overwintering ladybirds.
