Chac chac

The3se spindles have a captive ring on the whorl which supposedly rattles (chac chac means rattle in the quechua language) Usuallt made roughly in the local ,arkets and either left plainm or decorated with a bit of burning or using felt tiops and anything else that is handy. Whilst I make mine on a lathe so they are perhaps a little more sophisticated I try and emulate the naive look of the originals. Not an excuse for bad workanship, they still work LOL
