Happy Family

Here's one family with nary a dysfuncitonal member (or black sheep) to be found - a Tote-N-Go Spinning Set in domestic cherry wood from Edward Tabachek:

What more could you need? It includes pair of perfectly portable, practically-equally-weighted spindles; a larger plying spindle; a one-yard niddy; and a nostie... all in a warm, English saddle tone - the perfect shade to accessorize your fall spinning wardrobe of natural neutrals and subtle, tweedy blends.

But wait! There's something new in Tabachek offerings - hardwood WPI inch gauges!

I've even heard it rumored Edward offers some with built-in diz holes for those of you who are into preparing as well as portability! They can be seen here at The Wheel Thing. Silky smooth, they're perfectly-proportioned to slip into your spinning tote for measuring (or dizzing) on the fly.

You say you're feling shoppie with the changing season, but what do you really need? A new scarf? Wool blazer? Pink-the-new-black handbag, or those crazy, pointy-toed pumps? Puh-leeze! (You'll trip rushing the crowd at your next wool show in those!)

No - what we'll be seeing for fall, 2004, is coordinated spinning sets!

As always, Edward, they're lovely!

The large plying spindle was the one I'd just ordered to complete this set. I dutifully added it to my "Stasia's Spinventory" list of spindles and their specs, and thought I'd count 'em up and find out which maker's children I'd put through college faster.

Turns out Tabacheks and Bossies are tied at - gasp! - 20 each! I'm expecting a moosie soon, though, so Bossies might be in the lead... for the short run anyway!

Why do I have so many spindles? All I can say is... some girls do shoes, some do makeup... I accessorize with spindles - the only accessory that gives you a return on the investment!

Comment Quiz: What maker's spindles top your own spinventory at the moment? Whose do you have more of than any one else's (if you'll excuse my grammar)?
