Quick Overview

These spindle whorls have not been used but they are beautiful!
In Mali, cotton is hand spun by women and the technique involves winding long strands of cotton onto a spinning stick, or spindle.
Attached to the tip of the stick is the large clay whorl that functions as a spinning weight causing the stick to turn smoothly. The whorl is usually decorated or painted intentionally so as to draw attention to the spindle whorl’s form and movement as it spins during weaving.
