Over the weekend, my Papa kindly made me a new drop spindle to replace my own crude attempt.
My
spindle is made from odds and ends found around the house: an old wooden knitting needle and
the offcuts from my brother's work top. It's low whorl, weighs about 50g
and is imperfectly balanced and a little clunky. But oh how I love my
new tool! And what fun I had spinning as I walked along the shore,
looking for treasures amongst the flotsam and jetsom and trying not to
drop my spindle into the water when the waves rushed up to the shore.
