Bettina's Rainbow•Stars 2020 (in Pernambuco) - popular Supported Spindle

Now available for order - Bettina's Rainbow•Stars 2020 supported spindle from Mirkwood Arts & Handcrafts.

Bettina, my daughter as you may know was an avid spinner, knitter and a member of Ravelry under the name of Anitteb. She was also a microbiologist with a PhD, raised snakes and did belly dancing with her snakes. She was married to Nathan, and had a shar-pei dog named Rip (Ripple). She died five years ago on December 16 2014 from breast cancer at the age of 31. She had the BRCA2 gene mutation that she inherited from her mom, who had breast cancer at the age of 24 and then died at the age of 52 from ovarian cancer. The SAL will celebrate Bettina's life.

All Mirkwood spindles feature Infinitip technology - a stainless steel ball bearing in the spinning tip. Any given point of a sphere is almost infinitely small to give you the tiniest point of contact between the spindle and your spinning popular surface. As the tip is a sphere, no matter what angle you spin at you are always experiencing minimal contact between the spindle and dish, giving you a smooth, near-frictionless spin.

Mirkwood spindles come with two flicking tip options - crowned or pointed. The crowned spindles have a slender flicking zone topped by a flared tip in to which a genuine 4.8mm Swarovski crystal or a 6.0mm faceted gemstone has been set. Mirkwood spindle users have reported that the crowned tip is just as easy to use as a pointed tip and the glittering crystal is beautiful to behold.
