One of the trickiest parts of learning to spin with a distaff and spindle is co-ordinating the actions of drafting and flicking the spindle so that they work efficiently together. This video shows how to separate the two steps and work on them alternately, in a similar manner to ‘park and draft’ with a long suspension spindle. Work slowly, taking time to concentrate on each step, and build up confidence gradually until the two actions can be blended together.
The fibre I have on my distaff is hand combed Romney wool, with a staple length of around 15 cms, an ideal length for practising drafting.
My distaff was made by Polish wood turner Andrzej Naczynski and my spindle is from NiddyNoddyUK, both can be found on Facebook and Instagram.
