This wooden spool carries a full garden on its face — the sumptuous poppy and iris, Morris-inspired and wholly my own, burned with an embered tip in detail that belies the smallness of the thing. Petals and leaves tumble alongside scattered blossoms... the kind of abundance Morris understood, that beauty has no business being sparse. Wind onto it what you will... your linen thread, your wool, your velvet ribbon or twine... and it will hold it well. Set it on your shelf to be admired, and reach for it when the work calls. It is the small things, after all, that make a life feel tended.
