Скачать или смотреть Spindle Spotlight #14 - Chac-Chac Spindles

In this Spindle Spotlight I am featuring two captive ring spindles. This first is from a U.S. maker. John, of Straddle Creek Spins, he and I had a chance to talk during a fiber festival a few years ago. He is a truly talented woodworker; he and his family are lovely people. My first captive ring spindle was one of his, and I have since added a few more to the collection. Straddle Creek has a variety of suspended and support styles of spindles in a wide array of different woods.
The second spindle is a Pushka hand carved style from Paucartambo. These, along with other one of a kind spindles are available on Abby Franquemont's website.

Spindle Style Pros:
captive ring makes a fun "chac-chac" sound when spinning
depending on spindle size it can spin and ply with one spindle
most function either suspended or supported
slower spin time
unique/novel design that showcases woodworker's talent
spins almost all fibers (cotton might be more of a challenge due to slow spin time)

Spindle Style Cons:
captive ring can effect balance
inconsistent spin time
can be challenging to get started
weight/styles vary greatly depending on maker
