Spindle case

I wanted a travel case for my tiny Turkish style spindle, so went digging through my cupboards. I found a stainless steel can cozy that was just the right size, but didn’t have a lid.

I measured the space and used my laser cutter to cut and engrave a piece of thin birch plywood. I sealed the wood with modge podge (white glue), which also holds the circle in place.

The can fits nicely in the bottle pocket on the side of my purse and fits a handful of wool and the spindle inside.

And yes, I really did pull it out and do some spinning waiting in the line at grocery store!
