I love Redheart, and these large spindles are great for working with heavy fibers like Icelandic, and mediums like Romney.
Spinning your own yarn is lots of fun and very relaxing after a hectic day!
This spindle would make a great gift for a spinner friend or a real treat for yourself!
Whether you are just learning to spin, or are already an expert spinner, you will have many happy hours working with this bright and cheerful spindle.
Being of Russian background myself, I love the Russian traditional painting style called 'Khokhloma'.The folk art on this spindle was inspired by Khokhloma. This remarkable Russian decorative craft dates back to the 17th century and gets its name from the Volga trade settlement village of Khokhloma.
Khokhloma is an original Russian folk art, a unique expression of national culture, and this contributes to its growing popularity. Khokhloma gets its bright, happy character from a distinctive matching of scarlet, black and gold.
I painted this spindle using top quality acrylic paints over a maple base that was beautifully handcrafted by Joshua Lynch of TexasJeans. This spindle has been tested and balanced for the best spinning performance. I have coated it with several coats of gloss varnish for that extra shine and durability.
Weight: 1oz (30g)
Length: 11.5" (30cm)
Whorl: 3" (7.6cm)

A friend of mine inherited it from her grandmother. As you can see, the shaft is not straight, though she says it spins true. The bottom of the shaft still has bark on it, though it has been considerably polished by use.
This sculpture is scheduled to be removed before the end of the summer, so they can have another Walgreens. When we start removing sculptures like this one, beautiful and unique just to give way to big corporations increase their wealth, that's when we should reevaluate our values.

These are the five spindles I created based on photos provided by users in the Spindlers group on Ravelry.
Spindles going to NY, Germany, the UK, and Oregon. Various styles of spindles made of Osage Orange, Bocote, Olivewood, Cherry, and Redheart.
A replica of an antique French spindle made from a photo suggested to me by a client. It's about 11 inches long, 2 oz, and is made of Walnut.
This is Oliver the cat modeling an artistic neck and tip that a customer asked for.
You can see that the neck is tiered and there are pyrographed (burned) lines in the neck and on the tip.
The spindle is made of Walnut, weighs about 1.2 ounces, and is 11 1/2 inches long.
Bosworth Spindles, Karelian Birch Midi with long Cochin Rosewood shaft, 30g/1.06oz, and Zebrawood Mini with Birch standard shaft, 20g/.7oz
.6 oz. Zebrawood Bosworth spindle. Purchased from Fire Art Ranch at the 2008 Estes Park Wool Market.
Here's my latest spindle. The woods are bloodwood (I think), wenge, and zebra wood. The spin is soft--not terribly long or fast, but very pleasant and quite well balanced. Notches are built in.
this was featured briefly at the beginning of wayne's world as they were driving through "aurora." but it's actually located in a parking lot in berwyn, and i remembered seeing it many times as a kid. i wanted to go by there on our last trip to illinois, but my grandpa said he didn't think it was there anymore. however, based on other flickr users' photos, it appears that it is indeed still standing. i hope it's there the next time i make it up to illinois. it has since been demolished.
