Spindle Spotlight #01 - Basque Txoatile Spindle

In this Spindle Spotlight, I'm featuring a single arm Txoatile or Basque style spindle. In Bette Hochberg's book "Handspindles," she talks about the evolution of spinning tools. This spindle is a lovely example of the hooked stick and a single arm spindle.
