Your videos inspired me to start a research about the evolution of loom/weaving, basketry, ceramics to connect to the evolution of bread that I've been researching. How they have been traveling with the civilizations, how they arrived in South America, in Brazil. How native people apply these techniques today. I'm fascinated with this research. It's like a trip in DNA. Thank you, Sally!
i have two spinningwheels that I found dumped and plan one day to give them a check over and hopefully learn to use (I presently have 9 sheep fleeces that need proocessing as well) so, fingers crossed!
there are so many interesting designs for distaffs... i've seen a few explorations fo different types of spindles by region and intended use. would be really interesting to see the same kind of idea for distaffs. they tend to be the forgotten sidekick, lol. thank you for another bright morning inspiration.
This is so exciting! My grandmother had a spinning wheel like that although she was just using it for plying wool yarns using a grandchild or two to hold the materials :)
Awesome, I love distaffs! I made a cone distaff a while back using a similar method, it was a bit heavy for me but did hold the flax out nicely, and it looked really cute when dressed (I used a wide decorative band instead of a ribbon)
Oddly enough, I just made a flat distaff using cardboard and tape, with a dowel for the stick. I'll redo in wood if the proportions work and if I like using it.
Hello!! I’m trying to get into spinning with a drop spindle and hopefully eventually weaving on a warp weighted loom and I was wondering what resources you used to learn spinning/weaving and if you had any advice. Thanks!
My latest video shows how I do my cone distaff. A cone over a cone and no need to tie at all. One cone holds the fibers securely over the other cone and allows for adjustments as needed.

I've always wanted to see a distaff in action, this is exciting stuff!
Very interesting. Thank you , Sally.
Very cool! Glad you are feeling better!
What a clever use for the empty cones that accumulate! So glad your video turned up in suggestions. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your videos. I always learn.
Love the way you just make it work. Great to see you make more interesting videos. Take it steady.

Looks good
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊😊

I've done a whole series of videos on the warp weighted loom if that's any help.
Did you happen to dress the distaff as well ? :)
Soon! I'm waiting for a new delivery of flax.
