Corking (Knitting Spool) Set

These are handmade by my husband - we bought some dowelling and he cut it to size, drilled them with his lathe, added the knobs/staples, sanded and finished them 
(boy, that makes it sound easy! - it wasn't)

making "strings" for a pair of mittens!

They won't break like the plastic ones!

And if you click here, you'll find a great handmade bamboo loom hook that will last as well!

For lots more handmade items, please visit my Etsy shop ~ ennadoolf.
One of my happy customers painted her corking spool - looks great!
