When the temps get really hot, that's the perfect time to clean and condition my wooden fiber arts tools. My two most favorite drop spindles.

New braids from Fossil Fibers arrived yesterday. The multi-colored batt is from the Studio Ghibli inspired colorways. It’s called Arrietty’s Room. The purple one is “Night Berry”.

Two high whorl drop spindles are laying on a blue cloth background. They have 1/2 of an ounce of a brownish qiviut fiber spun as a single on each of them. The spindle on the left is homemade, and the one on the right is a Karri that was made by Hatchtown.
I am happy to report that I am finished spinning the qiviut. I'll probably wait a couple of days before I tackle plying it. Up next is some Vicuña fiber. #spindlespinning #handspun #laceweightyarn #highwhorls #dropspindles #qiviut
Looking down on a multi blue colored rope bowl from above. Inside the bowl is a brownish qiviut roving and 2 high whorl spindles lying on top of the fiber. One is made with a reddish wood and a light wood on the top. The one to the right of that is a light brown spindle made from a wooden toy wheel as the whorl. The reddish spindle has a cone shaped single yarn filling it. The other spindle also has a single of yarn wrapped in a cone shape but it has less yarn on it.
