Spindle shrub at entrance to The Yurt Cafe Limehouse, not seen it in this colour before, and liked the colour brick behind. Coffee & cake at the cafe wasn't too bad either.
A shrub native to Britain. The unusual shaped berries are attractive to birds and split open to reveal a seed like an orange segment. The wood was used to make spindles (hence the common name?), skewers, knitting needles or toothpicks and produces a good quality charcoal, used by artists. Whisby Nature Park, Lincolnshire, UK.
Best. Anniversary present. Ever.
Custom made Golding 1.4 oz cherry and walnut spindle. He even got PERMISSION from the RECORD COMPANY to use the Rush StarMan logo.
0.8 oz. lace spindle made of oak, with a notched shaft, (rather than a metal hook), purchased from The Drafting Zone (Bowie, MD) at the 2008 Fall Fiber Festival. The woodworker's name escapes me, but I was told he designed these for his wife who does re-enactments at Mount Vernon.
the right spindle is my first ashford spindle that i have been using. the middle top whorl is my new spindle. the nostepinne on the left was bought from a wonderful old couple who makes their own spindles and other fun spinning type stuff. i hope to go back to their table next year and buy a spindle. my friend susan bought a spindle from them made out of a pear tree (in northern alberta!) and it came with a great story. i love buying from craftspeople. both the new spindle and the nosti are hadmade...but not by me. www.flickr.com/groups/handmadebutnotbyme/
I just bought another Turkish spindle. This is the photo from the seller. I'll replace it with one of my own as soon as it arrives.

The pedal body came off the spindle shown here. I'm not sure if the end of the threaded portion of the spindle just broke off or what.

Finished Kick Spindle. The spindle sets in the ball bearing, and is supported on a hook in the pillar. Tested it wih some junk wool, and it spins fine. Will have to make a short video once I practice some more.
Homemade spindle is slightly cupped. It makes a soft wooshing noise when it is thigh rolled, but spins true.
