The Spindle Ermine Caterpillars spotted earlier this may have grown significantly.
The caterpillars are clearly noticeable on many of the Spindle trees on Jesus Green
I think this will work nicely for bigger projects too. It's wider and much longer than the regular bags. (12" vs 8")
Not being a spinner, I sorta winged this. What's the average length of a hand spinning spindle? Will it fit? It's 5'" wide and 4" tall. Spinners?
Spindle (Euonymus europaeus) is a common shrub in the hedgerows of southern England and produces these brightly coloured berries in autumn.

Walnut was chosen for the 11 3/4 inches long shaft of this elegant Tibetan support spindle. Dave has burn etched the canary wood whorl with his signature leaf motif. This supported spindle weights 47 grams.
These reproductions of medieval spindles were made by Eadric of Ironwood Pottery (the whorls) and Miguel of Spanish Peacock (the shafts). Since I had been attempting to handcarve my own shafts (and doing a poor job) I am delighted to have a few turned ones with suitable whorls. Usually when I buy Eadric’s work, I sit down and interrogate him as to the time and place of each reproduction I am buying, but I forgot to do this with these purchases.
This was taken while the spindle was in motion. It is actually a more kelly green than this, but hey, flashes do kooky things to color. I love this spindle. It's a little heavier than my other spinsanity spindle, and the bottom of the spindle on this one is rounded, instead of pointed, which is cool.

My spindles.
The rustic one in the back is from the spinning class I took. The teacher teaches a lot of kids, and needs cheap & easy spindles for them.
These spindles pull the cotton off the stalk and it is forced thru a shoot and into the basket on top of the cotton picker.. sooo cool!
Today I was going to do the walk I got wrong last week so I set off from home down the Cuckoo Trail to the Old Station at Hellingly and then along the roads to Magham Down then all footpaths to Cowbeech Hill ending up at Rushlake Green and then back home. It was a total of 19 miles and I saw very few people I had a really great day with odd little bits of rain but so much to see and so quite a few images from trees and deer to helicopters and Alpacas and the Cattle and houses. My longest walk to date but it's not easy to work out final distance from flat maps.
Maple spindle gall is the trees reaction to the mite insect (Vasates aceriscrumena). Spindles are a bit over 1/4" in length. The spindles begin green and turn red or tan as they age. Despite their dramatic appearance this is mostly a cosmetic issue and not a threat to tree health.
I miss spinning with batts and I'm super picky with fiber batts. I love the "kitchen sink" batts the best, the more crap thrown in them the better! I love this batt I ordered from SpunRightRound, she has great fibers!
Dave's signature leaf motif has been burn etched around the edges of the notched hard maple whorl of this beautiful drop spindle. The top of the whorl has been adorned with his rose and leaf motif. The overall length of this spindle is 9 inches, and it weights 1.3 ounces. A brass hook has been added to the purpleheart shaft.
