For those who would like to develop their skills in this Japanese art, this Spindles design involves some weaving after the ball has been divided into six divisions. Using the colour way of your choice (many to choose from), these traditionally geometric patterns will inspire you to create your own colour combinations and designs. They make lovely ornaments or gifts, and are great to hang on a Christmas tree or in the window.
