Premium Midis™: On occasion, we use limited-availability woods as they strike Jonathan's fancy. Finished Premium Midis™ are $70 each for a standard Birch shaft; $85-90 with a hand-turned shaft. We're happy to suggest a wood to complement or contrast with the whorl of your choice.  Most Premium Midis™ are finished on a by-request basis, so we do not often have finished Premium spindles available outside of our annual fiber festivals.  We are working through our WishList (sadly, now closed).  When available, occasional Premium spindles are announced on the This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it list and in our Journey Wheel group on Ravelry.
