The attached pages are more for helping me keep track of what I’ve done than anything else, but they function as a virtual gallery in the different areas.
As a side note, I firmly believe that while one may participate in a hobby, the reality is that the tools one uses are important–and just as important were they for something which was not a hobby. Having the right tools for the task makes that task easier. I can at least endorse the manufacturers for the tools in my own arsenal:
- Cascabeles top-whorl spindle, 1.8 oz.
- Bosworth mini top-whorl spindle, .7 oz
- Woolly Designs(Tracy Eichheim) top-whorl plying spindle, 2.1 oz, 20-inch shaft
- Jenkins Turkish spindle, 1.4 oz
- Woolly Designs (Tracy Eichheim) top whorl spindle, 1.1 oz Kokopelli
- Phil Powell Shape Spindle (dipper style)
- Running Moon Farm stone spindle (ca 1 oz)
- Grafton Navajo spindle
- Texas Jeans Tibetan support spindle
- Jim Leslie Russian support spindle
- Majacraft Rose spinning wheel

- Pat Green Supercard
- Acorn 5-pitch Fine English wool combs
- Valkyrie wool combs, especially the Extrafines and Superfines (but really, everything in the line)
