I love these spinners. Made three for my front porch. Made one for a spin mobile for a new babies crib, now I am making two for some gifts. They are so relaxing that I don’t know when I will stop. I am 83 years old and these so relaxing. They keep my blood pressure down.

But what little rain we’ve had hasn’t affected them too much, I use acrylic yarn which seems to dry ok. I’ve also started crocheting over some strimmer wire on the last row, which really helps them hold their shape. Hope this helps ☺️

I made a couple of these Christmas spinners last year and added sparkly gold to reds, greens, white. My daughter loves them! Oh and I ended each with a big round bell (instead of a tassel). They ring when brushed against, or opening the door if placed instead of a wreath decoration.

What a fun bow on a baby gift these would make or holiday colored bows…a d layer. Baby could giggle at it over the bed hanging.

Thank you so much ma'am to teach the easiest way of making wind spinner.
