| Hand made drop spindle. The true spirit of the Russian village life is captured in the "veretinoa", the wooden drop spindle used by most Russian grandmothers to keep their children and grandchildren outfitted in warm woolen mittens, socks and caps. Luba's brother Ivan learned how to make these age-old spindles from his father Vacili who is now too old to continue this craft. We are pleased to offer these handmade spindles which will allow you the flexibility of spinning and plying yarn whenever and wherever you like. Each spindle comes with a photo of Luba's mother Tatiana, spinning. |
