I made this spindle whorl awhile back using a laser cutter. The dragonfly design is my own.

I had an empty shaft and decided to give the whorl a whirl while I was spinning my Black Welsh Mountain fiber.

I should have sanded down the shaft some, the top hook did not stick up far enough which made it difficult to wind yarn on and off. The single layer whorl also didn’t feel substantial, and although the size was large enough to keep momentum, I struggled with it bumping into me. It is slightly better than using a CD as a whorl, but only because it has dragonflies. Back to the design board.
