There shall be... Spindle Whorls!

Spindle whorls are lovely things... whether they are made from ceramics or from glass. Or from stone. Or bone. Or antler. Or lead.

Speaking of which - I've been selling ceramic spindle whorls for a good while now, but these are just a small part of the picture. So I'm really happy to have found, quite recently, two crafters who are willing to make spindle whorls from bone and spindle whorls from stone. Which means I get to broaden the material selection of whorls on offer a little.

Which also means I have to pick out whorl shapes and whorl types for these crafters to make. That's a task I like - but I also know that it's not easy to get a good overview over spindle whorl finds, and that tastes can vary a lot. So - if you are a spinner, and you know a specific spindle whorl find from stone, bone or antler that you would love to have replicated: do let me know about it. I cannot make promises at this time, but if it's not too outlandish in shape, size or weight, it might become part of the new stock! (If you have specific ceramic whorls that you'd like to see for sale, I'll be happy to hear about these too!)

So... any wishes?
