What are spindlepins™ you say? They are pins that look like miniature spindles, high whorl, low whorl or Navajo! Are you a spindle spinner? This is a fun way to proclaim your love of spindles!All spindlepins™ are hand made with hand spun yarn. The yarn can be wool, silk, cotton or any other exotic fiber that I might have spun. And the colors, they come in so many colors! Average size of the low/high whorls is 3" and the Navajo is about 4". Wear on your handknit sweaters, jacket lapel or pin on a favorite woven scarf. Pick one that is right for you! And they make great gifts (:-).

My Info:
Now, just who is this spindlepins™ person?
My name is BJ (Barbara) Heeke. My family & I relocated to Waco, Texas June of 2000. This was quite a change for me after living my entire life in the beautiful state of Washington. I was fortunate enough to connect with spinners in the area before we moved. My local guild is The Heart of Texas Spinners & Weavers Guild . I have been president for the last few years. I also started up the Texas Fiber Guild July 2003. We have a yahoo list as well Texas Fiber Guild list.
I have been spinning for over 20 years, knitting for twice that. I really got into spindling in a major way after the spindle issue of Spin-Off came out in 1995. I have a rather extensive spindle collection now. Have not counted them yet, but I probably could spin on a different one everyday of the month. Some I use more than others, but each is dear to me and they all have their own personalities. Now, I have not gotten around to naming them as I did my spinning wheels, but I may someday.
I also teach spinning, wheel or spindle and am willing to travel.
You will find some of my favorite websites on this page My Favorite Links as well as shops where you can also find spindlepins™
