Botanical Top Whorl Resin Drop Spindle - Tiny Teasels beads which I collected at Studland

which I collected at Studland beach

yet lustrous yarn

The whorl includes a sprinkling of real tiny 'teasel' seed heads (actually Eryngium)

The beads all have a glossy finish

which occurred as a happy accident and which twinkles as the spindle spins

Botanical Top Whorl Resin Drop Spindle - Tiny Teasels beads which I collected at StudlandA lovely, well balanced drop spindle made with a resin whorl and a walnut wood shaft. The whorl includes a sprinkling of real tiny 'teasel' seed heads (actually Eryngium).. The hand turned shaft of this spindle was shaped as one with the whorl, resulting in superior balance. The whorl was created on the lathe from one of my own custom made resin blanks, not pre formed in a mould, so each and every one of our spindles has its own distinct shape,
