Botanical Top Whorl Resin Drop Spindle - 'Rose Potpurri', 37g Fibre Washing The strong hand-forged steel hookA lovely, well balanced drop spindle made with a resin whorl and a beech wood shaft. The whorl includes a sprinkling of real dried rose and lavender petals. 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, character and finish.
