The spindle I'm using above is one my dad has made from wood he saves from trees in the hedgerow he cares for in the next village over and a very basic design I printed out. It is a top whorl and works like a dream, he is so talented! Earlier today I took over some fibre to collect it and we all had a go there.
If you're interested I'm using the Navajo ply on the fly technique x
I have tried to do this, it is so difficult but fun at the same time. The 'thread' that I have produced can only be described as rustic! It's so lovely that your dropped spindle was made by your Dad, clearly you are a very talented family.
