Rainbow Drop Spindle, 2.4 ounces, Dream Catcher

Handmade original top whorl rainbow drop spindle made by Point of View Farm. I love to drop spindle and I wanted a pretty spindle to work with. Hence, this idea was born. Resin offers so much vibrance and depth. It is like gazing into another world in that spindle. It kind of reminds me of a dye pot. We were so excited when Kristy Glass bought one for herself and one for her daughter.

The whorl is resin which is colored carefully by hand, then turned on a lathe to balance. It will handle the bumps that drop spindles receive in the normal course of use. The hardwood shaft is individually hand turned and then fit to the individual whorl.

This particular spindle weighs 2.3 ounces and about 10.5 inches in overall height. I have called this one Dream Catcher.
