#HowHighCanYouPly ?

All my spindles are hand-made and balanced with the greatest care. The last thing I do with them before posting is the "Spinning top test"

The latest Turkish spindle to leave the workshop, on its way to England.

This style does seem quite popular 😁

Absolutely loving the way the ebonising solution brought out the stripes in the Oak. These little beauties, capped with Moose antler, are soon on their way to a shop in the south of Sweden.

Get in touch if you want one made to order!

One of the recent spindles sent out. I just love the look of the grain in this piece of old Oak.

Trying to cure autism in humans is like trying to cure spanielism in dogs.

Sometimes I work on bigger projects, such as window frames. I really enjoy using classic tools like these Stanley planes. The 8c is new to me, and rather more modern than the ones I used last year.

I love Turkish spindles for several reasons, including the ease with which I can spin and immediately ply my yarn. If you want a bone spindle like this one (with your own choice of decoration), just get in touch!

Spinning some mixed fleece in good company. Moose antler Turkish spindle, 41g. Let me know if you want one made, with your choice if decoration.

Ebonised Oak and antler spindles.

Today has certainly been historic. A day that will "live in infamy" as the saying goes. My mind is reeling, as if I've seen the final undeniable proof that the keys to the gun safe and the ATM have been given to a handful of 7 year-olds.

Roughing out some pieces of Oak for making spindles.

Romance: People have sometimes suggested that my lifestyle is "too romantic," as if that's a negative thing. I disagree.
It's the romantic, "unnecessary" things that make life into something more than pure function or commerce.
When someone receives a package from me, I hope they enjoy the romance.

The forge is calling... really looking forward to some cosy evenings out there, bashing hot metal.

Thank you 💚

Very true. Perhaps I should invest in some special fibre as an incentive 😊

So beautiful! I've never had the patience to lay my yarn that neatly 😄

Ebonised Oak and Moose antler spindle. On its way out into the world soon.

I actually tried it and the hashtags didn't work there
