spindle whorl, wheel-thrown

These whorls are wheel-thrown and come in shapes close to those of finds from the High and Late Middle Ages. They are fired in an oxygenated environment, turning them into a dark brown, grey, a reddish colour or a light reddish-ochre (colour is due to the chemical components in the clay). Their weight is usually between 14 and 28 g, though there are also heavier and lighter whorls available. The full range is from just a few grams up to heavy whorls with about 60 or even 70 grams of weight.

If you would like a specific weight, colour, or shape, please tell me in the comments when ordering, I will then choose an appropriate whorl. If no weight range is stated in your order comment, your whorl will weigh between 18 and 22 g. If you order more than one whorl without giving wishes for weights, I will choose whorls with different weights for your set.
