This is Zazi - Star, the sixth member of the collection of Zazi supported spindles. Zazi spindles are modeled after a young person Zazi who while traveling on the Paris Metro, full of joie de vivre, encounters many adventures. Freedom of shapes, freedom of choice in woods are at the core of the designs of these spindles. The aim is to create beautiful, small sculptures that spin with grace and speed.
All Mirkwood spindles feature Infinitip technology - a stainless steel ball bearing in the spinning tip. Any given point of a sphere is almost infinitely small to give you the tiniest point of contact between the spindle and your spinning surface. As the tip is a sphere, no matter what angle you spin at you are always experiencing minimal contact between the spindle and dish, giving you a smooth, near-frictionless spin.
Mirkwood spindles come with two flicking tip options - crowned or pointed. The crowned spindles have a slender flicking zone topped by a flared tip in to which a genuine 4.8mm Swarovski crystal has been set. Mirkwood spindle users have reported that the crowned tip is just as easy to use as a pointed tip and the glittering crystal is beautiful to behold.
Zazi - Star's whorl is made of NH Black Cherry, 8 Swarovski rainbow crystals travel in the whorl's Star Orbit, sending forth a magical light. The shaft is made from hard maple.
