Re-creating ceramic weights used in the fiber crafts over the millennia, whether for warp-weighted looms, drop spindles, or weighted bobbins. Want a size, shape, or color not listed? Custom is always an option, just contact us. Check out the inspirations (historical and otherwise) of this series.
These 1 oz weights, aka "bobbin weights," are pierced discs with stamped design, useful for kumihimo braiding and other string-based crafts.
Choose 4, 6, or 8 oz sizes of these recreations of looms -- and decide whether you want Grecian pyramidal or the doughnut shape Norse style. The drop/pyramidal shape also appears in iron-age britain.
Thrown ~3 oz whorl ready to be mounted on a shaft as a drop-spindle.
Hand-formed whorl ready to be mounted on a shaft as a drop-spindle.
Usable either as extremely light weights or in jewelry.
If you have any issues with the purchase buttons, the check-out process, or just have any questions, please email or facebook message us.
We also do designs found on Redwolf Ltd pewter jewelry and the ceramic 'gems' we create for Rigr Crafts jewelry --plus there's getting our artwork on clothing and other items via Redbubble or Spring.
All the designs are drawn free-hand and hand-painted onto the hand-thrown pottery—no molds or stencils used—and our wares are designed sturdy, built to survive years of everyday use. Have other questions?
