Pretty Colors! The traditional top whorl drop spindle now comes in bright happy pretty colors! A simple, elegant wooden tool used for spinning yarn without a spinning wheel. Top whorl spindles are excellent for beginners and for general purpose spindle spinning. Perfect to use in a reenactment scene or at the RenFair. This sweet spindle also travels well and helps fill the time at appointments, etc. I loved demonstrating this drop spindle at the Kansas City Renaissance Faire.
