Four hand-me-downs

I finally have photos to post of the spindles most recently acquired from friend moving to Denver.  A nice range of weights.  All “unknowns” except the Kundert, which has gone already to a new home–a friend to whom I gave her first spinning lesson this last week and is already thoroughly hooked!

In order of size, a tiny polymer clay (green), a slightly larger polymer clay (blue), both made by Mercedes of Kitchen Sink Dyeworks (previously owner of Knit Nouveau).  Then the mystery black one made of plastic–a midweight.  And the Kundert, only slightly larger than the black.

AND, might as well include my beloved first spindle from way, way back (more than 20 years) made by good friend and fellow Mount Horeb Spindrifter Carol Watkins.

That’s not all, by any means.  Have caught the spindle bug.  Ordered three “bossies” from Jouney Wheel.  And should receive two spindles (a Greensleeves and a Houndesign) early next week–maybe, maybe tomorrow!!!

Happy Mothers Day!
