Merino & silk blend, micro wave dyed with Kool Aid. I think I'm going to ply it with a sparkly thread. Ooooh... sparkles.

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.

Spindler Hall was built in 1940 and dedicated to Lavina Spindler, a WMU faculty member from 1906 to 1939. Throughout this period she served as Director of the Campus School, Dean of Women, and Freshman Advisor. Originally a women's dormitory, the building is now used to house doctoral, graduate, senior, and non-traditional students.

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.

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.

Morgaine gifted me a *lovely* koa-wood 'Needle' spindle from Cascade Spindle Company. It spins for about 2 hours at a time. I might be exaggerating. But only a little.
