A single little clump of berries on a Spindle Tree (Euonymus europaeus - European Spindle Tree) I found whilst tramping around the woods last week.

Cotton: The yarn. The control of quality, my father's main concern. Time has passed, and my memories faded. I only remember my father's joy during the visits he made to his clients'mills where he shared his knowledge and skills with the workers he was training. I regularly went with him on my Summer holidays to get acquainted with the mills and help him with English and German language translation.
In honor of the original Spindle, Paisans Pizza has erected a Mini Spindle. The cars are about 3 feet long, Mini Spindle resides in the Paisans Pizzeria's parking lot in Berwyn Illinois.

A bright orange Spindle seed hangs suspended from its pink pod before it finally drops to the ground.
There actually is a Spindle City … it’s the nickname of Cohoes, N.Y., where massive textile mills harnessed the power of the Mohawk River at the site of a major waterfall. Those mills were spinning cotton, though, not silk, which was the business of this place in Maryland.
Luckily this tree at Westonbirt Arboretum was labelled and I took a shot of the label too. It's indigenous to Japan, China and Korea. I have never seen anything like it and the raindrops on it really brought it alive for me.
I'm making some tools for Jon Williams / Drillium Revival. These are surrogate pedal spindles that he'll use to hold crank arms in his milling machine.
I "single pointed" the threads on my lathe, and I used thread wires to make sure that I cut the threads to the correct diameter. Cutting the left hand thread is tricky. I turned the cutter upside down and ran the lathe in reverse.
Caused by the maple spindle gall mite, Vasates aceriscrumena. They don't usually harm the tree.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
We live in apple country and it has been interesting to see the orchards slowly transform over the past few years to this new system of growing the trees. The Tall Spindle System is a combination of denser spacing between trees, dwarfing rootstock, minimal pruning at planting, branches tied down to induce fruiting and trellis support as the tree grows taller. It is supposed to give higher early and mature yields and be easier to harvest.
Sneak peak, what do you think? (Base fabric is by Lara Cameron of Ink & Spindle in Melbourne, it's called Rooftops and is printed on an organic cotton and hemp fabric. It was just screaming at me to add some color.) : ) THANK YOU to the Flickr folks for adding this to EXPLORE!

This is my Asford Top Whorl drop spindle while I was spinning my second yarn. I used blue and green roving that I hand dyed using acid dyes. This spindle is so fun and easy to use! I think it is great to learn on! blogged
