Turkish Spindles

July 29 Ed's been concentrating on catching up with store orders for
spindles and knitting needles. He hopes to be back to spindle making by
next week. If there's a wood you'd like a spindle made with please let
us know and I'll put it on his to-make list. (All shafts made with
maple)
After three days with our small
grandchildren visiting us I'm packing finished back-orders, trying
to get a handle on what's in stock and will be working through emails
and sending PayPal invoices. It's going to take time so please be
patient, though realistically it may be tomorrow
(Friday) before all emails are answered.
(Pictures of the actual spindles but coloring may vary due to
differences of monitors.)

Pattern:
Walking Spinner's Felted Spindle Pouch
This
pouch is designed for the spinner who loves walking while spinning. Wanda
designed this pouch after wishing she had a safe place for her wool and spindle
during early morning walks with her daughter and dog. The long strap
slings over a shoulder leaving both hands free to spin. This pouch is wide enough for your ball of
roving, spindle and a wallet.
Walking Spinner's Felted Spindle Pouch knits up quickly with large needles and wool rovings.
Pattern: FREE PDF when requested with spindle purchase.
Alone: via email pdf: $3.50
Snail mail: $5.50 which includes sheet protector and
S&H.

Turkish Spindles are a challenge to make. The
crossarms need to balance for the the spindle to rotate without a wobble, and the
shaft a certain thickness & length. With woodworking skills, meticulous design
work, and mathematical calculation Ed is able to produce spindles that spinners
love.
