Rainbow Drop Spindle, 3.1 Ounces, Golden Morning

Handmade original top whorl rainbow drop spindle made by Point of View Farm. I love to drop spindle. I wanted a pretty spindle to work with and came up with this idea since I love resin and all the vibrant colors that it can have. It is like a dye pot. Kristy Glass bought one for herself and one for her daughter. We all love to have nice tools.

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 course of use. The hardwood shaft is individually hand turned and then fit to the individual whorl.

This particular spindle weighs 3.1 ounces and is 10 inches in overall height. I have called this one Golden Morning.

It is a heavier spindle so suitable for plying or a spinner who wants to make bulkier yarns.
