That's the spindle that got everything else started. It's the first spindle I've ever purchased and it came with a little bag of pastel colored wool.
It's probably made out of beech wood and weighs about 50 grams.
A spindle kate made out of tinker toys. The bottom needs more weight since it tended to move towards the bobbin winder as I was winding. It's a super fast way to get singles off a spindle and onto a bobbin while maintaining tension on the singles.

I love this spindle! My first one from The Spanish Peacock and it won't be the last! It has a little bit of Butterfly Girl Designs' Tuscany that tore off from another bit of spinning I was doing. The whorl is "flame" box alder and the shaft is bloodwood.
Whorl: 5"
Shaft: 10 1/4"
Weight: 1.1 oz

A walk to get the paper and have a bit of exercise, on a very dull and damp day, but enlivened by going through Hill Hook Nature Reserve. I could do with retaking some of these when there is a bit more light to allow shorter shutter speeds and better depth of field.
Seeing the spindle took me back 70 years or so, to Blacklands Copse on the Isle of Wight, which was a regular walk as a small child, and my mother taught me about spindle trees. They were never like this though, and these seem to be garden centre varieties, not the true wild spindle.
I made this spindle from oak wood, on my lathe.
The wood comes from ancient wine vessels from Bordeaux, France.
When I turn the spindles out of the wood it smells like a vinary ;-))
This specific spindles is featherweight: weighing not even 16 gramms - and with the amount of silk on it it counts 33 gramms.
The spinning hook is 2 mm , so you can see how lace weight the yarn is that I spun.

This is a new design for Grizzly Mountain Arts! Dave has crafted the beautiful 1 7/8 inch acorn whorl of this support spindle from poplar. Pyrography, burn etching, was used to create the details on the acorn's cap. The 11 1/2 inch long shaft was created from walnut and the weight of this spindle in 51 grams (1.8 ounces).
