The whorl measures 2.5" and the total length of the spindle is 9". This spindle comes with Wind Rose Fiber Studio's directions for use as well as a leader cord. The wood is unfinished and ready for spinning. If you like, you can have some fun by staining or painting your spindle with your own creative design. If you are new to spinning and wondering what wool would be best, I would recommend BFL, Falkland or Corriedale. All three of these have a longer staple length and would be a great choice! Feel free to contact me with any questions and happy spinning! http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=804269 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:12:24 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=803391 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=803391"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/31764_product_1594446966_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This Corriedale Wool Sampler gives you one ounce each of six great colors: Jet Black, Silver Grey, Pagoda, Dark Blue, Olive Green and Crabapple.

Churro is an ancient breed of sheep first brought to this country by the Spanish in the 16th century. It is known for its strength and durability and is widely used for rug making, tapestries and outer garments.This Coyote Warp Churro is a unique ply of two shades of wool, natural and grey. The distinctive look makes it useful as a marking warp. When weaving rugs or blankets with intricate patterns, Coyote warp makes it easier to keep track of pattern placement. For example, if Coyote Warp is used instead of the regular warp every 10th fiber, the weaver can easily count out where to change colors.The rustic nature and strength of this fiber also would make it a great choice for book binding, enhancing primitives and other crafts.Churro Coyote Warp is 1/16 inch wide and has 8 WPI. It feels coarse next to the skin, but softens and increases loft with washing. It is slightly fuzzy creating a softening visual effect to finished projects.If you are someone who enjoys working with rare breeds and uncommon fibers, heres a wonderful one to add to your stash! http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=714416 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:47:41 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=714413 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=714413"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/31764_product_2126636476_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This listing is for 100 yards of Churro Coyote Warp yarn.

Drum carded fiber is wonderful to work with. Its soft, well blended and easy to draft. Now, not only can you pick and choose your fiber, you can have it carded as well. This listing is for the carding of three ounces of fiber. For example, lets say you are shopping here and you select an ounce of Merino, an ounce of Soy Silk and an ounce of Firestar. You love the colors and would like to have them carded. You just purchase this listing at the same time as you are buying your fiber and I will card your three fibers for you. This service only applies to items purchased here at Wind Rose and this listing must be purchased at the same time as your fiber. I charge $2 per ounce for carding. If you would like more or less than 3 ounces carded, please contact me so that I can create a Custom Carding Service Listing just for you. I like to treat my Drum Carder with TLC which means I dont like to overload it. Three ounces of fiber will be carded into two 1.5oz batts. The fiber will be fed into the drum carder in the same order for each batt.If you have any requests for the specific order in which your fiber is carded, please send me a message to that affect at your time of purchase. For over a year I have enjoyed selling fiber by the ounce here at ArtFire. I love the idea of my customers being able to choose from a wide variety of colors and fibers to create their own works of art. I am so pleased to now offer this additional service!(The fiber batt pictured in this listing was designed by two former crochet students of mine. It is a 1.5oz batt of Merino, Soy Silk and Firestar in the shades Teal and Spruce.) http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=558809 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 04:53:40 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=558800 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=558800"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/31764_product_1184788709_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This merino Roving Sampler contains one half ounce each of Sky Blue, Lichen, Pink, and Chestnut Brown.
