Hand spindles

Three different types made today, well four actually LOL


These are two bottom whorl and one top whorl drop spindles, all about the 20 gram mark









 These are replica French hand spindles. They are smaller and highly decorated. Based on one I was shown recently
These are made for someone who had two roman and one medieval lead whorl that she wanted mounted on shafts. The whorls are genuine ones that had been found somewhere.
