Drop Spindle Sale for February 30% Off!
I love all spinning related things! I love the tools and wheels and spindles. I've really enjoyed making spindles too, however, I've had some sitting around in my Etsy Shop pretty much since shortly after I opened it. I have decided to have a big spindle sale in February and hopefully I'll clear out some of them! I will be using the Etsy On Sale app and discounting them all 30%. That means you don't need a code to get the discount, they will be clearly marked and I can easily fit 4 in a box for the same shipping cost as 2... just sayin'.....
With the sale in mind I got busy with my drum carder making some fiber batts to use as packing material. I hate using plastic bubble wrap for spindles. I find nice springy crimpy wool is great as it molds better and provides better cushioning. It's also a nice bonus for the buyer because it gives them a little something to play with once they open the parcel! I dug out some bright purple Romney wool and blended it with some white Jacob wool into these funky stripey batts. I figured I'd card 1 ounce batts until I ran out. I quit counting at 20 but since there was just under 2lbs of fiber I figure there's about 30 batts. It sure would be nice to have to use them all up and need to make more.... Ha! It's a good thing artists are dreamers too! LOL! Cheers!
