Throwback to my first-ever spinning project with natural grey Finn wool 🐑 Done entirely on a drop spindle, this breed was love at first whirl for me, and has been a staple of my stash ever since ❤️

Spinning my last single of Ruidus while listening to Worlds Beyond Number on the recommendation of a mutual here. It's utterly delightful. 😊

I still don’t produce singles as balanced or consistent as I’d like, but I can’t deny these little skeins are kinda purty #dropspindle #handspinning #handspinnersofinstagram #shetlandwool https://www.instagram.com/p/CqbFCRZPhmi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

• The drop spindle • Part 6/6 of "The woman at Spurkeland", early 900s CE 🐏🧶 Among the other identifiable objects in the grave were a loom weight and a spindle whorl both made of soapstone. These may refer to the Spurkeland woman's role as a weaver in the household. The production of fine clothes was associated with high status during the Viking Age, and could be a good source of income. The housewife would be responsible for the textile production, either as a weaver herself or a leader of weavers in the household. The spindle whorl was unornamented and round with flat parallel sides. Neil from @NiddyNoddyUK was kind to make me this one to order, as well as a spindle stick and distaff to go with it (the latter were not found in this grave but are in Oseberg style). Now I just have to learn how to spin properly! 🤓 #viking #vikings #norse #vikingage #vikingtid #reenactment #vikingreenactment #vikingreenactor #livinghistory #levendehistorie #archaeology #spurkeland #dropspindle #distaff #vikingsofinstagram #vikingsummer #vikinglife #vikingwoman #historicalclothing #vikingblog #valkyrie #valkyrja https://www.instagram.com/p/CTU7AIZDMc5/?utm_medium=tumblr
