Helpful video. How many people know how to flax dress a distaff?? Flax is a tricky fibre. The music is perfect for the presentation. Better than words.

I'd love to have a go on one of these, I'm *so* bad at long draw currently and this would force me! I can't stop looking at the clock reel though - I have a very similar one but mine has three gears, two of 10 teeth each, the second of which drops a hammer after a complete rotation, so as it makes a 1.5m skein, we've started referring to 150m of yarn as a Bonk. The last gear counts in 16s for some reason but the hammer is missing and it's a bit out of alignment with the others because there were missing teeth. Probably my favourite loppis find, until the surprisingly-good battered wheel.

...well I was meant to be spinning some random white top which the label fell off into random lace-weight yarn to use for a natural dye session with a friend, but this inspired me so what I've been doing for the last hour or so is carding scraps into rather rubbish rolags and practicing my long draw :D I'm not actually as bad at it as I thought!
@josefinwaltin21 күн бұрын
It was a beautiful opportunity to try the great wheel. Clock reels seem to be hard to find, even the ones without a functioning counter.

How do you attach the leader to get started?
@josefinwaltin22 күн бұрын
Usually I pull out some fiber from the distaff and roll it into a leader against my thigh and then make a half-hitch or two around the belly of the spindle.

@josefinwaltin5 ай бұрын
The rims are made of bent wood and joined with a ribbon. The Japanese, Chinese and Indian wheels were way earlier than the medieval European great wheels and inspired the making of them.
