Es ist schon gut zwei Jahre her, da habe ich bei einer englischsprachigen Spindelbaugruppe bei Ravelry mal den Schnappschuss einer selbstgebauten Kreuzspindel gesehen. In Erinnerung an dieses Foto habe ich mich vor ein paar Wochen endlich daran gemacht, selbst tätig zu werden. Insgeheim nenne ich die Spindel für mich "Paläo-Spindel". Natürlich habe ich keinerlei Belege dafür, dass solche Spind ...
Часто слышу - вот я бы попряла, да веретено купить проблема. Показываю для инфы: имеем: спицы деревянные ( у меня ф3,5мм бамбук) и деревянные же шарики для рукоделия. вот такие например вставляем одно в другое, и вуаля - опорное веретено готово. да, примитивное, НО рабочее. Пряла на нем, крутится в…

Art yarn drop spindle with my handmade wood burned spiral design. This is a bottom whorl drop spindle made especially for spinning and plying chunky yarns. Easy to use, great for a beginner. Already spin on a wheel? Take your spinning on the go with one of my portable drop spindles. I made this spindle by hand using quality hardwoods. I make a wood burned spiral design on the top of the whorl, sand each inch of the wood, assemble with strong glue and a metal hook. More sanding and then I finish it with a food grade oil rub, followed by a natural beeswax buff. The overall length including the hook is about 12-13 inches. The length of the shaft above the whorl is about 8 and 5/8 inches, plenty of room for winding on lots of big yarn. The lower end measures 1 and 3/4 inches and has a blunt point that can be useful if you plan to spin it semi-supported. The width of the whorl is 3 inches. Weight: 2.4 ounces I like to spin everything from worsted weight to jumbo art yarns on this spindle. This is my personal favorite spindle for plying. All spindles have been tested by myself.
