Attempting these beautiful Best Wishes socks by Jeanne Townsend.

Please pay no attention to the bent needles.

They were my Grandmother's and still do the trick.

What is it?

A homemade top whorl spindle.

I bought one but it hasn't arrived yet so my SO (significant other)

made me this one to practice with.

As you see from the wound yarn, I need lots and lots more practice!!
